Common Channel length for DS?

For those of you that know, what was the common channel length for your DS procedure? I am looking to get the Duodenal Switch but I would like to find a surgoun who does a shorter CC. I've seen horror stories of people with longer CC regaining significant amounts of weight.

    I am going to get the TDS in a few months. I dont want a long cc just in case I would have a lower weight loss goal. I am going to talk to my surgeon tomorrow-video pre op appointment and I am going to confirm with him that I want a short cc-ideally 100cc. He measures the total bowel so he has to go in there to measure it then.... I could truly know what my cc is , you know?
