Can anyone give me info. on which procedure is better-Lap rny or open rny?

I have just been approved for surgery and my M.D. has asked me to choose between open and Lap rny. He seems to prefer open but I really can't decide and I have to tell him by Oct.31,2001. Can anyone help with some comments on how they decided.
