Guest guest Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 Dear Mandy, At my support meeting last night, I spoke to the surgeon and he told me that in very distal patients (I am one of those) I will not absorb fat anymore... length of time does not matter, it's the amount of intestine bypassed that determines how malabsorptive you are. I am extremely malabsorptive as 225 cm of my intestine were bypassed. live each day like it's your last... love like you've never been hurt...
