increase in=increase malabsobtion

[Guest guest]

Theresa,

Go to Duodenal switch information zone site....go to procedures...go

to pub med abstracts.....60% thru articles you will see an Oct. 200

Obes Surg abstract by Scopinaro................key conclusion

" increase in intake corresponds to an increase in percent

malabsorbtion "

also confirmed by a hyper nutrition study which I can't find at the

moment, but they over feed a group of BPD's and measured

calories....30-50% more calorie diet, same energy expenditure. but

weight did not increase! Increase in intake=increase in

malabsorbtion....enjoy your new life
