I am a carb & sugar addict will DS work for me?

I was all set to have RNY, but after looking at my history, my surgeon recommends DS. He said it would work best for me because: I have a history of binge eating, I am a carb & sugar fiend, I recently quit smoking (GBrny+smoking can cause ulcers, other complications) and because I mentioned that I absolutely hate having nausea! This sounds awful, but I was looking forward to having the dumping problem as a deterrent to feasting on carbs & sugars. Now I don't know what to do! I am also concerned about the "side effects" of DS - gas & icky bms - I'd like to have control over my bowels. Also, DS is more expensive, and if my insurance doesn't pay all/pays usual and customary I could be stuck with a serious bill! Help - what do you guys think?
