Does our malabsorption have a time limit?

I just read somewhere recently that after awhile (approx. 18-24 mo) our malabsorption we have from RNY surgery ends and our small intestines begin to absorb normally again. Then I recalled my surgeon's Nutritionist I saw pre-op said basically the same thing when I saw her back in August, 2002. Could all this true???? If it is true, does it matter if you're distal or proximal? I know over time our pouch stretches somewhat too, so does this mean our tool actually expires? Please help me get informed on this issue. I was so upset when I realized what was being said. Thanks bunches!!
