How much bypassed?

I read a post where someone wrote that their surgeon bypassed 150 cm of small intestine. Is that normal for most of you? My surgeon only bypasses 75 cm. He feels it avoids a lot of malnurishment and diarreha issues, etc. I heard people locally saying that they didn't use my surgeon because of this, they wanted more bypassed. Did anyone else get less bypassed and experienced slower weight loss? I started at 315 day of surgery and am about 240 now. I'm down 75 lbs and feel I am right on track. I am actually hoping to lose consistantly, but slower, hopefully to avoid sagging skin and illness. What are you thoughts and experiences? Lisa
