Has anyone had RNY done laproscopically after having an appendectomy?

I am scheduled for surgery on August 21 and I asked the Dr.'s head nurse if I would be a candidate for laproscopic surgery. She asked me if I have had any other abdominal surgery before and when I told her that I had my appendix out about 16 years ago, she said that I could not have laproscopic RNY because of the scar tissue from my surgery 16 years ago. If anyone has any information on this I really would appreciate your response!
