Wondering about malabsorption

I was having trouble finding even the abstract, so I sought out the help of people on proboards and was forwarded an attachment. They found me a summary of the study with a table of the results. I can send it to you.

Decreased lipid malabsorption in both gastric bypass and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch

This is the same study that set the fat malabsorption for DSers at 81%.

 I was told at the WMC that the standard is 50%. This is why we are to take two multi vitamins a day for example. If only 50% is absorbed we are getting the recamended dose. Not sure what study it's based in though. This is just information that was tossed out in our pre surgery class.
