Background: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) restricts food intake, and when the Roux
limb is elongated to 150 cm, the procedure is believed to induce malabsorption. Objective:
Our objective was to measure total reduction in intestinal absorption of combustible energy
after RYGB and the extent to which this was due to restriction of food intake or malabsorption
of ingested macronutrients. Design: Long-limb RYGB was performed in 9 severely obese
patients. Dietary intake and intestinal absorption of fat, protein, carbohydrate, and …
