A food-addicted woman "drank herself to death" after a gastric bypass made her swap the habit for a drinking problem, her heartbroken family has said.
"Outgoing and funny" Nicole Wilson, 44, had suffered with a binge eating disorder since childhood and used food as a comfort, causing her to become obese.
She had a gastric bypass - where surgical staples are used to create a small pouch at the top of the stomach - and lost 120 pounds.
