Can someone try to help me to understand the difference in distal and proximal

when it is talked about in connection with open RNY? Which of the two provides optimal weight lose and does one carry more complications than the other? Does one work better in reference to long term? Also, what is ballooning? I read that somewhere and was just curious! I love this web site and I am so happy to have found it. I have learned a lot here. I have my consult appointment on 10/17, only 4 days away, and I would love to hear from anyone who has something they would like to share with me! I have emailed several people and have not gotten much response, however I know some of you great people out there must want to share and support an extremely excited pre op like me!! Thanks in advance for all of your help with my question and happy Sunday!
