cm of bypassed intestines?

which one bypasses more intestine an ERNY or a Distal? which has less a 150 or a 100? I thought I had this figured out until I started reading some archived posts and saw many that referred to an ERNY as a different amount than a distal. I thought they were the same. is it the higher the number the more is
bypassed?

I don't know what ENRY is but I was bypasses 150cm and that is 4'11" seems like a lot to me ...so it HAS to work ...right? 
I am actually loosing slower with RNY than I have on "diets" but it is taking much less effort!! I think because I had the band and my espheagus has been stretched and holds food , I had that issue when the band was in place, it actually became part of my stomch
I believe 150 is more than 100 ( I googled it)

I thought they were the same as well. Then I read the posts from Deanne K. and she talks about having had an RNY then a ERNY then a Distal. That is why I am so confused...

I was confused too, I need to ask my doc about more vitamins, is 150 considered distal? some say it is other's say it is not , the "regular" RNY can go from 80 cm to 150cm's...I don't get it

AFAIK: (from 9 years ago)
RNY- normally done
Proximal means closer to an area average 75-100cm
Distal means closer to the farther side more bypassed- usually 150 cm
ERNY- extended RNY even more bypassed usually in a revision.
Then there are the inadvertant DistalERNY like me. I started at 150 cc bypassed, then due to a bowel infarct 56 more cm died and had to be removed. I think I'm at about 200 + cm removed.
BUT how do I figure out the common channel :-)

ok, thank you for clearing that up for me. I don't know what I had to begin with I will have to ask the doctor. I have been reading archived posts on both surgeries. Gettin kinda worried about it. I am due for my first office visit for revision so I have lots of time. But my only options are BOB, Distal or ERNY. don't want to BOB so trying to learn all I can. Knowing the differnce now will help me understand the research.
Ii would strongly reccomend contacting your surgeon and geting a copy of your OP report.
It took me 7 years to get around to it, the doc's would have killed for it when I had my bowel infarct so they knew what had been done.
I had my surgery 2 hours away, and my doc had very poor follow up. He has now moved to a new practice even further away so I'm pretty much on my own. I'm looking into follow up at a University Hospital so I can get some consistant care.
