I need to know the formula used for the amount to bypass

I was bypassed 100 cm distal. I weighed 355 when I was admitted to the hospital the day of surgery. My surgeon did not look to see I had gained 47 pounds since she had first seen me from CHF. This would have raised my BMI almost 9 points. I have lost a total of 85 pounds and no more has come off. My surgeon is now saying she must go in and lengthen my limb for more weight loss. I am told I will have a possibility of diarrhea 3-6 times per day. She told me she had to lengthen because of severe malabsorption. My blood work is fine. I go to see her 8/7/03 and need any help anyone can provide. Thanks!
