150 cm bypassed

Hi Everyone: I know this question has been asked before, but please bear with me. I had lap rny in August. The surgeon said that he always bypasses 150 cm of intestine. Is this proximal, medial, or distal? Please explain what this means in terms of weight loss, malabsorption, etc. Thanks for your help. Love Grace
