well your stomach will not be able to tolerate alcohol anymore. So what is more important to you? Being over wieght, or getting drunk on your 21st? Perhaps try exercise and diet before u take such an extreme route as bypass. You are a little young for that unless you are super obese, tried everything else and failed, and your health is affected by it.

I think you would not be allowed to drink alcohol since you has had surgery because
alcohol can irritate the stomach maybe if the stomach is totally healed.
