I am thinking about Jejuno-lleal Bypass Surgery, Help! I'm so confused.

I recently saw a doctor in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and was put on the waiting list for surgery. J-i bypass. I've been looking on the web for more information and have had absolutly NO luck. I came across a great web page and contacted Dr.Goodman (new york)by email. Within minutes he had replied and gave me him number. He called me within hours of my sending my email. he told me a lot about the surgery and how dangerous it is. A problem I found out, is that here in Canada our doctors are behind on surgeries. I want to know all I can about this surgery from those who have researched it, had it... anything. I'd concider going to the states for surgery, but my medical wouldn't cover it. I was so excited about this surgery, finally had hope of losing weight... and now this. Its best that I find out all I can. If it means my going without surgery... :(
