Is it true that with Distal you will lose more weight?

I'm confused on this matter of distal or proximal. I could be way off but it seems to me that with distal RNY you lose more weight. This refers to the amount of intestine you have taken, 150, 200 etc. Is this correct? Are there more complications from one verses the other? I want to get the most benefit from my surgery. I realize a lot has to do with my own behavour after. What do you think??
