Anyone familar with difference in the way RNY is done now vs. 2002?

I am seeking info on if anyone has looked at having a revision of thier RNY to the way some surgeon's are now doing the surgery. In 2002 thier was not a link between the old stomach wich contains the acids and misc. to allow for absorbtion of vitamins and iron. Barix in MI now makes a link from the old stomach to the upper part of the intestines to allow those acids to help prevent the iron deficencies and calcium problems. I currently have to have iron infusions every 4-6 months despite vitamins and am suffering from osteopenia. Any information available?
