DS won't fix your hypothyroidism at all, but then there is no bariatric surgery that would. You need to take thyroid supplementation for that. But it will help with the sleep apnea and hypertension. And since a tight sleeve might (probably would) make your GERD worse, having a DS, where a looser sleeve is sufficient, would again be a better choice. A stand alone sleeve done loosely is pretty much doomed to failure, which is why many sleeve surgeons do tight sleeves these days.
