What are the odds that Laproscopic surgery wont work?

Ive been trying to have the Lap Band surgery for three years now. Last year, it looked like I was finally going to have the surgery. I met with my surgeon, had all my tests, yadda yadda yadda. Because of insurance issues, it didnt happen. Now a year later, I have a date... July 1. Last year when I had the ultrasound they told me that my liver was slightly enlarged. This year, because I have been through this process many times, I do not meet with the surgeon again until 3 days before the surgery. My pre op clearence is only 2 days before surgery. The reason my surgeons appt is so close to the surgery is because he is out of town most of June. Now, all the info they give you, and talk about says that they do Lap surgery, but if something happens for some reasom they will cut you open. I am scared out of my mind of being cut open and it is causing me some severe anxiety. I do not have to redo the ultrasound or anything and im worried about my liver. What are the odds that it has gotten bigger and such? How do I know? What are the odds that they end up cutting you open? I guess I would like some information from people who have gone through this. I know my surgeon is one of the top guys in the country, so im not worried about his expertise, but more about potential surgical issues. Thanks guys
