Guest guest Posted October 28, 2002 Report Share Posted October 28, 2002 How do we know if we are distal or proximal? My surgeon takes our BMI and multiplies it times three. That is how many centimeters of the intestine he bypasses. My BMI was 51 so that is 153 cm. If you are still with me, divide by 2 1/2 to get inches. That means I had over 60 inches bypassed. Is that distal? Thanks, Jean 3/29/01 -140 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
