Can you have a revision lap RNY after a vbg?

I had a VBG, which has now failed, in 1997. I had complications with the surgery, had a blockage which caused a rupture in my intestine, then became septic requiring emergency surgery to repair. Can a person with all this still have a lap surgery? I read that this type is less traumatic to the body than open. I must admit, I'm still a little scared that I will have an experience similar to the VBG experience if I have another open surgery. Please help! Thanks
