Insurance denied sleeve, approved bypass..what should I do?

I was so looking forward to the sleeve. I am 46,female, 245 with a BMI of 40.6 with no other health risks. I was impressed with the sleeve's lower complication rate, and the non-malabsorption. I don't know what to do....I am scared to death of the risks...major being death! I read all of these stats, but a lot of them seem to be from 5 years ago. Does anyone know what the death rate is this year, and what truly are the biggest complications? Thanks for any help you can offer.
