Thanks I am definitely going to keep my options open and get the surgery I need not what is in their comfort level.
I live in Canada so no I am having to look into Mexico for surgery as I can't afford US prices. The surgeon did suggest gastric sleeve then the DS revision. I need to do this in one shot just financially even if it means waiting until I can get down to a 54ish BMI which is what they suggested. I do understand that the surgery is more complex than RNY or sleeve just knowing myself I really feel it's the right option. I don't carry much of my weight in my tummy either so thinking that makes me a better candidate as well.
I spoke with a surgeon today my bmi is 58.6 he said it was too high for DS. I was under the impression from the research I've done DS was better for higher bmi. Very confused now any insights appreciated.
