Gastric Procedure

HELP!! CPT® code for Exploratory laparotomy with Roux-En-Y gastrojejunostomy

My physician chose 43846, which is gastric bypass for Morbid Obese patients.

The abdomen was opened and explored, a gastric mass was found and adhesions of the bowel were taken down...continued exploration of abdomen. metastatic disease was seen in the omentum so no attempt to resection the tumor was done...so bowel was divided...the roux en y limb was made side to side anastomosis of small bowel was done with a GIA ...

any suggestions??

Thanks
