Anyone having RNY near 220 lbs or less?

Hello, I would love to hear from all of you that are going to have surgery as a light weight. I have morbidity conditions and have for years. I chose to have the lap band 5.5 years ago and lost 45 lbs. I weighed 246 at that time. After removing the band, I now weigh 218 lbs. I wish I had listened to my 1st surgeon and had RNY instead of chickening out and opting for the band. My surgeon now is saying that my insurance will not cover the sleeve, but it will cover RNY. This is the surgery I need in order to help get rid of the morbid conditions I have. Anyone else going through this or has gone through this? Please let me know, I need help! I am 5'2" and top heavy from the waist up. Although image shouldn't matter but I do worry about that too at times. Thanks
