Should I wait or jump ship?

I need some advice. I've been working with the bariatric clinic at the state university since July. My next appointment is at the end of January, when they *might* set a surgery date. It might be two weeks or two months from January. The university hospital is a teaching hospital, so the wait it long, but the help is excellent. They can do a lap RNY for me, but will not take out my gallbladder. Should I continue to wait?? I have been thinking about going to another surgeon in my state, who is very good, but only does open RNYs. He will take the gallbladder out at the time of surgery. I could probably get the whole thing done in just a couple of months. I've been waiting patiently for four months now. Should I continue to wait another 3-4 months for a surgery date? What would you do??
