How is malabsorption an issue once your weight is stabilized?

I understand the malabsorption issue while you are losing weight and following your surgery. However, 18-24 months out, when you have lost all your weight and are stabilized, how are you still malabsorbing? If your weight is steady, doesn't that mean you are getting all your nutrients? Especially those that have to be really careful to weight gain. How can you gain weight and still malabsorb? I'm still pre-op and have all intentions in the world of taking my vities for life, but was just curious.
