Anyone know if we RNY's can absorb Zetia, and does it affect the food we CAN absorb?

I'm sorry, I don't know much about rny (I'm a sleever) but I can tell you generally that zetia is absorbed from small intestine.  

It definitely does NOT effect what food/nutrition you can absorb.  Well, except for cholesterol. It blocks the uptake (absorption) of cholesterol from the small intestine into the body.
