Anyone having an Open Roux-En-Y procedure?

I have my surgery in 10 days and have had to tell my work that I will be off longer than expected.  Most everyone I know has had their surgery with the laproscope, but my surgeon only does it open.  He is the best in the region so I am willing to this his way.   I  have had c-sections and did all right after those, but was curious how much different it is going to be with an upper abdomen incision.    Only time will tell, I know, but thought I would see if there is anyone else having an open procedure.

At least you won't have the gas to deal with like the laproscopic surgeries do.

Good luck with yours.
