Kinda of Freaked Out

I understand why you are worried.  Your BMI is higher so you think that you have to have a shorter channel to get the job done, right.  I know how you feel.  My BMI was a 69 when I started and My surgeon uses a standard 75 cm common channel.  I was not worried.  I thought good that should help me get to goal.  However, I am a slow loser.  So, do not worry I think I might have been fine with a little longer channel or even a shorter one.  I just think my intestines are super absorbers.  My opinion. 

Trust Dr Anthone and negotiate with him See if he will give you a 100 cm common channel and the small stomach.  I think you will do great.  Just voice your concerns.  This is a big decision and he is a great surgeon who will listen to your concerns.  Look at all the successful DSers he has out there.  You will do great!
