My surgeon only does the fobi & BPD/DS - why don't I see profiles w/fobi listed?

I love reading profiles - it really gives me a lot of hope and strength re possible surgery. But, I'm concerned that I don't see any listed as "fobi", only open RNY distal,proximal, other or ds. Are there only a limited number of choices we can enter into this database? I would like to read some that say "open RNY/fobi" - this would give me a better idea as to what I can expect. Also, what does distal or proximal mean? And what are the differences? Thanks for your help!
