Hi again Teresa, I was just wondering...are you having your surgery done lap or open? Can you give me any ideas on how Dr. Nye decides which to do? Thanks, Wanda

i guess dr nye is kinda an open /lap proceedure....he only does about a 3 in*****ision right below the sternum(please excuse my horrible spelling) and the rest is done lap. from what i can tell everyone loves him,which i guess is obvious since his office is always so busy.
