What's the difference between Distal and Proximal and which does BTC in MI do?

Hi..I am getting confused. I hear people saying that they had a distal Open RNY or proximal RNY? I also hear people saying that with the distal, you lose more. What's the difference between these two? And does anybody know if BTC does the distl or proximal or both? I'm trying to get myself prepared for my first consultation at BTC. I've already called Loretta so many times..and she's great but I hate to be the annoying one. Can somebody please help me? Thanks! God Bless! :o)
