Absorption Post Weight Loss Surgery

Posted by RMAP Nurse

Q: Does calorie absorption increase years out from weight loss surgery, which is why some weight regain can occur?

A: Increased absorption years out from weight loss surgery….
 False.

Same absorption as when you first had surgery…. True.

Your stomach gets more efficient at emptying food into the small intestine years out from weight loss surgery…. True. (This is why you are able to eat more food at each sitting, but never more than 6-8 ounces/meal).
