RE: Digest Number 4361

[Guest guest]

Just a clariificaiton:

There is the biliary limb---digestive juices go down this one.

There is the ailementarty limb---food from stomach goes down this one.

Then the 2 marry and become the Common Channel, this length varies from

50-100cm by surgeon. This is where the digestive juices mix with fat and

protein to be absorbed. Carbs don't need much help to absorb, esp. simple

ones like soda!!

if wt loss is too great or too little--the adjustment would be made in the

common channel.

Hope this helps!
