Should I have WLS open or laprascopic?

I have been to the consult with the surgeon last month and he said that I was a candidate for wls.He is going to begin performing this surgery laprascopically in the next few months.I originally wanted it done this way but now I am worried that the risk of complications may rise because of his inexperience doing the surgery this way.I have weighed the pros and cons and the open way sounds sooooooooo painful!!Can the doc submit my approval request before I decide which way to have this surgery done?How awful is the open procedure will I wake up yelling in pain like other people have?
