Surgery March26th,2003 Lap VS Open for me

HI everyone I am 5ft2 and 456 lbs. I have alot of comorbities as most of ya'll do. Well my surgeon is going to start out to try to do an LAP on me but gave me an 85% chance that hes going to have to do it openly anyways. My thought is am I just safe to tell him lets just do it open from get go??? I dont want him to start out doing it Lap and something to go wrong at my weight and all. Then to do it openly because thats alot of healing to have to do.If I dont have to have all of that I think itd be best to just do it open. Anyone have any thoughts on this or have been there ???? Please post and help me out LOL Thanks Regina McManaway
