open vs. lap??

I have been approved for my surgery and have a date set (2-17-03). Initially, we were planning open RNY. The surgeon said they were looking into lap, but at that time didn't do anything but open. That was 1 month ago, and now he suggested lap. I am hesitant to agree to laproscopic surgery, since it seems a new procedure to them. But, it seems smarter since recovery would be shorter. HELP! I am interested in everyone's input about this!! Thanks--Nikki
