visible fat in the toilet ... really?

I believe they call it orange slicks.  I had it once that I remember.  Not a big deal.  Some people (with a lot of malabsorption) experience it somewhat regularly and they were happy because it meant the surgery was working.

I have had it occasionally (rarely) and the doctor told me it just meant that the malabsorption was working. 

I absolutely do still malabsorb fat, it's why I don't worry about it in my diet.   I'm 12 + years out, so am stoked to be honest!

I have never pooped a rainbow. I wish I could and there was a big pot of gold at the end ;) 

pre-RNY days I was on Orlistat (one of my many weight loss attempts) and that is not pretty at all. 

10 years no rainbows... though maybe I'm not observant enough... I tend to do my business and move on LOL.
