Meeting With Surgeon Tomorrow

So I am metting with a surgeon and not sure what to expect, I have Kaiser and I was shocked to find out the surgeon looks at you and your history and make the decision for you which procedure they will do, bypass,sleeve, or band. I went to a 4 hour class and they told us bands are done very rarely .... I am super bummed, I want the band, the other procedures are to scary. I wish someone would shed some light. Kaiser is WEIRD !
