Ok, it’s a cool and lazy rainy day here today, so I am catching up on some things I’ve been wanting to post.
I know CC lengths in general have been discussed over and over, but, I need some more exacting opinions as it may apply to me in the specific. I have said many times that I am a self-diagnosed, self-described extremely efficient absorber of what I eat. I crashed what little metabolism I had 30+ yrs. ago through starvation diets and subsequently; I know my body has evolved as a survival mechanism to store everything I eat instead of burn.
My Surgeon only does his DS patients common channels at 150 cm, no custom Hess method etc. I must admit, I am a little bit worried that since I feel like my small intestines have evolved to maximize food absorption, IMHO…..I worry that maybe that length is too long? I don’t think he will budge on this subject either. I am 5’11”, 350. If I only lost 100-130 lbs, I would be ok with that and actually don’t want to be too thin, so, would the longer CC affect initial and total WL, i.e., the final ending number, and or the ability to keep it off long term, or all the above.
I know it’s almost impossible to say because we all react differently, but, need opinions.
