In more extreme cases, they can "by pass" more of the small intestine... I forget up to how much.. but am thinking up to 5 ft, which ups the level of malabsorption.

This is only done in very extreme cases.. a woman I know who started at over 450# had pretty close to the max as far as amount by-passed.

When I first scanned down the list of topics, I thought this title was "Masturbation". I was thinking, "Jesus......take it to the sex after wls board wouldja?". But I see it's malabsorption, and I'll concur with others, RNY definitely helps you lose through malabsorption. Definitely.
The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking....... If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a free man any more than a dog.
