Does every cm bypassed count?

I am trying to choose between two surgeons. Both will perform the Lap RNY Proximal bypass (my bmi is 43). One typically bypasses 75cm (he is close to home) the other 100cm (I will have to travel). I am thinking about the longterm effects and wether or not 75cm is enough to bypass without weight regain (malabsorption being the benefit to some extent). I do plan to follow the program however, every cm counts...right?
