Ughhh so sad Dr could not perform sleeve due to bad surgery when i was a child. Dr recommended open gastric bypass now idk what to do

If it were me, I would get the gastric bypass. I have two relatives who have had it and they have done great -- no problems, tons of healthy weight loss, and are maintaining at a normal BMI. They are very healthy. I am sorry about your complications, I can imagine that would be a big shock and letdown.

ETA I would also consider getting a second opinion before committing to it. I have no reason to doubt your surgeon's competence or motivation, but that's a big change of plans and I might want to just be sure that was the best option.

I signed a consent allowing my surgeon to perform an open surgery if warranted. I wish others would have the same opportunity.

The end result would be the same. WLS. ---just more of an incision and a wee bit longer recovery.

My opinion---and only my opinion---GO FOR IT!!!
