Has anyone ever had additional sm. intestine bypassed.

I read on the AMOS site about a post-op patient who had stopped losing weight and her surgeon said that he would need to operate again and bypass more of her sm. intestine because she had a over-efficient sm. intestine. I was wondering if anyone knew what this was called and what the requirements are for this surgery?
