Choosing between DS/BPD V. RNY-Proximal

I think that I am on information overload. I'm 37 years old with a BMI of 51. My only significant co-morbidity is severe arthritis. I'm scheduled for a RNY - Proximal Laparoscopic procedure for July 25th, BUT, I've been reading many success stories about the DS/BPD procedure. It appears that the DS/BPD procedure allows you to eat/chew more "normally" and also drink more "normally", than the RNY procedure. I'm really confused and nervous. I don't really want to start this long process over, BUT, I also want to make the correct short and long term decision for the best quality of life. I'm concerned about having to take baby bites of food and only sips of liquids the rest of my life. Please help with your experience and input. Thank you.
