Although previously scheduled for RNY, now I have to get a VBG.

I have very low calcium, and had been scheduled for an RNY, but after my surgeon doing research and lots of lab work, decided that the RNY was too risky, and there was not a good way to supplement the calcium level I needed to maintain. I was crushed, since this was decided 2 days prior to my actual surgery date! He said that a VBG would be a good option for me. Has anyone else had to switch surgeries due to any medical reasons? I guess I just feel so crushed, because the VBG was definitely not my choice. At least it wasnt a definite "no" though! =) THanks!
