What does it mean when the doctor TRANSECTS

the stomach in gastric bypass surgery? Also, what is the difference between proximal and distal bypass, and which one is better? I read the definitions for the latter two, but I am still having trouble understanding. I only met with my surgeon once before I started all the pre-op testing. At that time, I wasn't educated enough to ask these questions. I just completed all my required tests and evaluations. I will see him this month and will ask him about this, but in the meantime, does anyone have an explanation for me? Thanks so much, Marcia
