Tomorrow I meet my surgeon

so here in the miltary world we have to go through a bariatric pathway before we even schedule our surgery. Well tomorrow I meet my surgeon, we will choose what surgery I get (hoping for DS but still not sure if he will because I am a "light weight" and we will set my surgery date, which will be the end of this month (I am pretty sure) anyway.... I need some help from you amazing people... I need the facts that will support me getting THIS surgery here is some info about me
I am5.6" I am 270 pounds BMI33 (I think) I currently am on meds for HBP, I had diabetes when pregnant. Most of my family have diabetes (like 8 out of 12 people) High cholesterol and heart problems. I have a bad back (herniated disc and degeneration of the bones in my L4 L5 vertabra. 

All of the research I have done says the DS is the right surgery for me, I will have to be commited to my supplements but I feel like the long time benefits outweigh any other surgery...

PLEASE HELP :)

BMI of about 43.5--check
HBP--check
committed to vitamins and follow up--double check
problems with exercise due to degenerative disc disease--check
high choleterol--check
potentially diabetes--needs checking
sleep apnea--needs checking
