GOOD QUESTION! IN MY CASE MY INSURANCE CO MADE THE DECISION FOR ME. THEY DON'T COVER LAP ONLY THE OPEN. MY SURGEON IS GOING TO MAKE A CALL TO THEM TO SEE IF IT HELPS. I HAVE BC/BS OF MN.....

Was wondering who your surgeon was going to be. I have Pacificare Insurance in OKC and dont' know for sure what they cover. I think it may be the open one also. THanks
The surgeon determines which is best based on how thick you are . He has to be able to move the Lap tools around and navigate inside of you to do the surgery. If you are to thick then they do it open.
Pacificare pays for Lap or Open RNY.
