Good day, everyone! 1st and foremost, congratulations on your decision on a life-saving option. If anyone knows what % of nutrient malabsorption the RNY bypass surgery is, please do tell.

Malabsorption is a big deal for me. I had complete RNY 2001 I was 356 now 109. My surgeon instructed me to take 6 flinstone chewables every day and I should have. They were right when they told me to eat 6 mini meals a day. I do try to put high iron snacks in my body all the time. Listen to your doctor

Hi Cathleen C.,

Will you be getting that surgery soon or are you just exploring your options? I'm hoping to have the sleeve bariatric surgery or a different gastric surgery this summer. My surgeon and I will hopefully decide tomorrow at my appointment.
