open vs laproscopic
ah,.....a few questions.
Same doctor?
If yes, why the date problem?
How many RNYs has you doc preformed?
How many were open?
How many were Lap?
What is your BMI? Is there a reason that open is preferred?
What is their mortality rate?
What is their complication rate?
If you do not know the answers to these questions, you really should.
I think either open or lap can be very successful. I had lap myself. I have heard that open can be preferred for high BMIs, or if the liver is particularly large.
In the end, only a decision you can make.
