This is what my surgeon is recommending for me to do has anyone had it and what exactly is it I have not been able to find much information about it

it's actually spelled "distal". I believe it bypasses more of the small intestine than the standard bypass does, giving you more malabsorption.

When you have a distal bypass more of the intestine is bypassed than a Proximal Gastric Bypass. If more of the intestine is bypassed then more weight is lost through the process of malabsorption. So it's kind of in-between a proximal bypass and duodenal switch.

I am having this revision soon. My surgeon calls it a long limb gastric bypass, but it’s the same as distal as they are bypassing more of the small intestine to allow greater malabsorption. I just found out on Friday, that he wants to take my gall bladder out now due to a stone. He said he’d rather do it now than after the revision to prevent gall bladder issues down the line.

Did you have this surgery? Have you had good results?
