Which is better? Proximal or Distal - personal opinions.

Hi. I have done A LOT of research on the difference between proximal and distal RNY's. I know that the RNY is the procedure I am planning to have, but cannot choose between a proximal & distal (or even medial). I know the physical pro's & con's to each along with the after-care nutritional requirements & differences between each. What I'm interested in hearing is personal feelings and opinions as to whether one works better than the other or maintains weight loss longer than the other. Can you lose & MAINTAIN the same weight loss with a proximal and have less need to supplement? I am trying very hard to make a choice, so any input I can get is appreciated.
