Is there any truth in the fact that with the RNY Distal only allows 20% absorption?

Is there any truth in the fact that with the RNY Distal only allows 20% absorption? If so, does that mean I could eat 1000 calories in a day and only absorb 200? Lastly, if this is the case, what about medications? Wouldn't I need more?
