Originally I wanted the DS, it is covered by my insurance but there is no surgeon in network that does it. I have exhausted all of my appeals including IMR which I will have the decision at the end of this month. I am approved for RNY Or Vsg. If Ds Is completely off the table for me VSG will be my choice. My question is: At 330lbs, what are my chances of getting to my goal of 170? and more important what is the % of regain?

Thank you to those who replied. I appreciate all the advise an encouragement I can get:)

I am so tired of fighting the insurance company. The VSG was my second choice and I am already approved for it. My only worry is not getting to goal. I just wanted the biggest baddest tool I could get..LOL I know I can rock the VSG, be vigilant about food choices ect.. I just want it done, my journey to WLS has been going on for 2-3 years. I wasted so much time being overweight and unable to participate in life..I just want to be healthy. I did lots of research into the DS, I know the pros and cons.
