Does anyone know how long the entire small intestine is?

I know of someone that had her entire small intestine bypassed and had to have a revision to bypass less of it. Does anyone know how many centimeters she would have had bypassed origionally to bypass the entire small intestine? Just wondering how much more drastic this was than a distal RNY.
