I went to my first support group meeting earlier this week. I was the only

one there that had open rny (proximal). All of the other patients were distal. Can someone explain to me the difference? Is one better than the other? Oh, and one more thing, what determines a lightweight? Is it your starting weight or how much you want to lose overall? My goal is to lose 120 lbs. Thanks so much! Lisa
