 Hello,

I would like to know where what vits and mins get absorbed along the small intestine. I saw something a while back but I can't seem to find it now.

Thanks,

Meta

PS - I've decided to have the DS

I just found this with a google search.  I actually think it's pretty cool/ informative, just have to ignore the red lines that reference where the RNY bypass occurs.  On dsfacts.com, there is information on where exactly the sections of the small intestine are bypassed.  It starts at some point in the duodenum and ends at some point in the ileum - you'll have to go to dsfacts.com to find out exactly where.
