My Doctor wants to do a long limb RNY insurance will only approve short

My doctor wants to do a long limb open RNY but my insurance will only cover for a short limb open RNY so I have no choice but to go for short. My surgery date is Aug. 13. Has anyone had a short and weighed 340 lbs and if so how much and fast have you lost? Do you think you're having less problems afterwards in the after effects of this surgery verses the long limb?
