RNY differences

For those who have had the RNY, what procedure of the RNY did you have? And what do you all think of the procedures you had? Would you change anything? I had a stomach stapling done in 1998 and now I am looking to be revised to a RNY. I am wondering about the different procedures of RNY and what people have had. I am leaning towards the "medial RNY" which bypasses about 70 - 100 inches of the common channel, as I have about 130 lbs to lose. There is the proximal (bypass 170 inches) and the distal (bypass 60 inches). I am curious as to what others have had done, what they find the difference is between the surgeries, and what the outcome has been? Thanks in advance for your knowledge.... Tracey 340lbs 5'9"

My surgery was 'distal" - wouldn't have it any other way. If the distal helps you lose more weight I am all for it. As for me I am 4 years post op and I have lost 170 lbs. Down from 302 I now weigh 132 lbs. I work hard every day on it - exerecise etc. It is still a battle - a life long battle. I wish you success on your journey
