How is the healing process for diabetics with the Open RNY?

I was all geared for having my surgery done laporascopically since my understanding is that it is better for healing in a diabetic. Unfortunately, due to my insurance, I must go to a hospital that is not equipped for Lap surgery and I am very concerned. I am on insulin 3x a day, taking 112 units per day, plus other medications. I really would appreciate some feedback. My surgery is scheduled for March 10, 2003.
