surgeon put a bug in my ear

You're going to get the full sleeve, it's the Duodenal Switch, or lower half involving the intestines that your surgeon is leery of. 

Many people have had the DS in stages - Sleeve first, lose some weight,  then the switch of the intestines.

Losing a little now may help the hernia issue when your surgeon goes back in to switch you.

Trust me...it'll be worth the wait!
