Guest guest Posted January 5, 2004 Report Posted January 5, 2004 Maureen, An " oil " slick is droplets of oil on top of the toilet water after a loose stool which indicates that fat was not absorbed by your body by passed during a bowel movement. in Austin RNY April 1998 315/190s Re: " sliders " I asked a question when I read someone use the phrase " oil slick " . I still have not had an answer to that one. Maureen Quote
Guest guest Posted January 6, 2004 Report Posted January 6, 2004 So if a rny patient has never observed oil droplets, does this mean that he/she isn't malabsorbing fat? Well, that explains why I have been a snail's pace loser.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2004 Report Posted January 6, 2004 I never had that oil slick, and lost slowly, but still lost over the course of about 3 years, for a total 150 pounds. But, after 4 1/2 years of pretty much maintaining with little effort, combined with being very bad over the holidays, I have gained 10 pounds. I think I was lucky to last that long, and now it's payback time. <sigh> in NJ ********************** > So if a rny patient has never observed oil droplets, does this mean that he/she isn't malabsorbing fat?

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2004 Report Posted January 6, 2004 No, it doesn't mean that. Being as radically distal as I am, I should have them, nothing but, and lots of them. Not the case at all. My labs indicate that I'm not absorbing those fats/oils. But the other thing confuses the issue. Thanks, Vitalady, Inc.
