Question:
Does anyone know what percentage of fat we RNYers absorb with every meal? Does it

change the longer out we are from surgery? Thanks!!    — darlene B. (posted on November 13, 2002)

I heard on TV that we absorb 20% fewer calories, although I don't know if this is acurate.

It can also depend highly on whether you are promixal, medial or distal (how much intestine was bypassed) as to how much or little you absorb. I'd recommend asking your surgeon :>)
