Is the RNY the same as the Fobi pouch operation?

I AM KIND OF CONFUSED. IS THE RNY PROCEDURE A TOTALLY DIFFERENT ONE FROM THE FPO (FOBI POUCH OPERATION)? I DO KNOW (I THINK, I DO.) THAT WITH THE FPO, THE STOMACH IS TOTALLY DETACHED. THE OPEN RNY? WHAT IS THAT? ALL THESE PROCEDURES ARE CONFUSING ME AGAIN.... I THOUGHT IN THE BEGINNING THAT I MUST HAVE THE FOBI POUCH. NOW, I AM ASKING MYSELF IF THE EXTRA $4,000 OUT OF POCKET MONEY THAT I WILL HAVE TO PAY IS REALLY NECCESSARY TO ACHIEVE AND MAINTAIN MY WEIGHT LOSS OF 230 POUNDS. CAN ANYONE HELP ME WITH THESE QUESTIONS?
