Guest guest Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 Well, my malabsorber is working well....my last cholesterol count was 102 and that was non-fasting. I think that's a bit too low. Not exactly sure. Regards~ Jacque Not 100%. Well, wait. It's 100% true that we don't absorb some fats. But the degree is somewhat dependent upon your type of surgery. Distal like me, or the BPD family absorb about 5% only. Then on down the proximal line til you get down to prolly 80% absorbed. You can watch your cholesterol levels to see where they are. Mine are almost too low, consistently. Sometimes do rate the LOW flag on labs, but not by much. Thanks, Vitalady, Inc.
