I had my sleeve 2 years ago and I am at a stand still I started at 420 and I am 300 . My doctor suggested bpd/ds. Anyone else going through this process or has gone through this?

It ****** me off that at 420, the doc didn't recommend DS to you in the first place.  You wouldn't need a second surgery at all.  

To answer your question, there are many sleevers who didn't reach their goal who have gone on to the DS or the RNY.  Since the DS design is with a sleeve stomach, you're halfway there already.  Pop over to the DS board, and you'll find many that will chime in.
