Basically I had a partial gastrectomy (instead of stapling my stomach off into two compartments, the doc removed the excess and just left me with a small pouch. Who really needs that extra compartment anyway?) Also, the first 2 sections of my intestine were bypassed (duodenum and jejunum). So i'm left with my ileum attached to my new stomach pouch. Since these sections of intestine have been bypassed, I don't have to watch my fat intake. Very little fat is absorbed with this procedure. The complication that this presents is malabsorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Which is not really a complication if you take the prescribed high dose vitamins as directed.
