Answer to Question 1

Fat digestion and absorption may become impaired for a number of reasons after a gastrectomy. The accelerated transit of food material may prevent the normal mixing of fat with lipase and bile. If the duodenum has been removed or bypassed, less lipase is available for fat digestion. Bacterial overgrowth, a common consequence of gastric surgeries, can lead to changes in bile acids that upset bile function.

Answer to Question 2

False
