My Gi doctor said I should have the Vertical sleeve instead of RNY due to Gi probs

Ok So my daughter and I started this journey together. We both were getting Lapband. Then we saw the surgeon and he said my daughter could have it, but because of all my gi issues (peptic ulcer disease, Barrett's esophagus, esophagitis) amongst others I cant remember right now. My daughter decided to have RNY and is scheduled nest Thursday. I am so happy for her. Today I went back to my Gi doctor and he found more ulcers so I have to wait another month and have another scope. I told him I was having surgery and RNY and he told me not to. He said it would be one of the worse mistakes I could ever make. He said they would never be able to access my stomach accept for surgery if I had it. He told me I should have the Gastric sleeve. I don't know much about it. I don't know anyone who has had it done, their success, how much weight I can lose. I don't even know it my doctor does it,or if he has how many. I don't want to be like a practice case for him. Need less to say this bothers me. He even wrote in my chart that he wont recommend it. Any suggestions
