Okay it has to do with the amount of small intestine they romove during the GBP procedure. Proximal is what Dr C and Dr P do... they cut less than 14 inches of intestine... isnt that right? And then distal is removing more than 14 inches...... I think thats right. Im sure I will be corrected if different or if I have it back wards!

What Sawyer would call me on LOST: ladybug
"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment."
