Does the intestine get re-connected differently with proximal or distal?

I have read the information in the library regarding proximal vs. distal & I still don't get it. I know it has to do w/ how much intestine is bypassed, but does it have anything to do with where it is re-connected to the stomach? If someone could email me a picture or explain in simple terms I would appreciate it! Thank you! ([email protected])
