distal or proximal???????????????

could someone please tell me the difference. having a revision done on friday! had rny in 2003 and i have gained 45lbs not sure which of the two got or if i got either of these?

Most often proximal is done.  The amount bypassed can vary, but distal RNY means more intestines are bypassed.

The Distal Bypass is almost like having a DS. You have to be very careful about keeping up with your vitamins and your proteins because it makes you restrictive and malabsorbtive. If you are not sure PLEASE talk to your surgeon and get all the info. Best of luck to you.
