Kcarr1120 15 Posted July 9, 2013 So after RNY, what % of the calories you eat are actually absorbed? Does this malabsorption stop 1-2 years out once your body gets used to your new plumbing?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DiminishingDawn 50 Posted July 10, 2013 The exact number is unknown. It is thought that at the 18-24 mark that this where the villi of the intestine compensate and start absorbing more calories etc again. There's so definite answers in these though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
