Met with the surgeon to ask more questions, and wanted to know if he would do a "proximal or distal" bypass. He says nowadays everyone has a proximal bypass meaning less small intestine is bypassed (I think?)....like only 30 cm......he says there is very little actual malabsorption.....it is primarily restrictive. Really?

How much did you have "bypassed"

wow really? Im having surg on aug 1st and if it is restrictive, then why not the sleeve? whats the purpose of re-routing

I had asked what % of calories are not absorbed, and maybe he thought I was trying to play a numbers game, so he said what he said. - not sure, but I agree - I thought the big payoff was the meal absorptive aspect!
