RNY Gastric bypass.... Duodenal Switch.... April dates?!

Hey everyone, so I had a reconsult with my new surgeon and we talked for like 2 hours unlike the lastone who said to come back when I'm done with my 6month weighin. I'm so happy to have a surgeon who is VERY SUPER INFORMITIVE. He basically redid the seminar but only got in depth with these two surgeries (which I didn't even know my insurance covered the DS) anyways I was soooo set on having RNY and believed that this was the surgery for me. Well anyways I've done a lot of research along with everything he has told me, and I believe now that the DS is the surgery for me. Although I know noone who has had this surgery only people who have had RNY. I'm nervous and excited and all I know is I cannot wait for march to be here already so I can submit to insurance and be approved. Anyways I was wondering if anyone else has looked into having DS and still had RNY or if anyone has done their research and what they think about the DS. I will be having OPEN DS and will call my surgeons office tomorrow and tell them that's my decision on surgery. I will have my 6th weigh in with my doc on feb 1. And then my 7th weigh in on march 1. And then have my psych eval around the 5th of march and hopefully submit by the end of march and 7 to 10days later have approval! So have my surgery by the end of april hopefully before my bday! (May5) and have all my cardiology and pulmiary tests in febuary. Excited to get this done. Anyone else around the same schedule as me?! Would like to hear any comments (except negative of course) thanks!
