Follow-up question regarding medial RNYs?

Someone asked a questions about "medial RNYs." My biggest concern about proximal RNYs has always been the potential for "long-term efficacy." When I asked my surgeon if there was anything he could do to increase the "malabsorption factor" of my proximal RNY (he refuses to perform distal RNYs), he agreed to make my roux limb long (i.e., 150cm). His normal length for roux limbs is 100cm. Can anyone tell me how much is bypassed in a typical "medial RNY?" I'm wondering now whether my RNY is actually closer to a "medial RNY" rather than a "proximal RNY." Any input would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks.
