I am still on the fence about the procedure I want, whether it the lap band or RNY. I meet with Dr. Allam on Friday 1/19/07 for the first time. I have been to several surgeons thusfar. The reason I am so undecided is the lack of absorption of macro and micro nutrients with the RNY. I am hearing that some of the supplements (fat soluble) vitamins to be more specific, do not get absorbed.
I know the old procedure was the FOBI pouch and that is no longer used today; but can someone tell me if there have been any long term studies of the folks with the RNY procedure when it comes to nutrient absorption and where I can find this information? This is my last obstacle to research to aide in my decision. I have all my clearances in hand. HELP!
Thanks so much for your help.
