Guest guest Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 I'm deciding whether to have Open or Lap. I weigh 307#, BMI 52.7 Is there a weight or BMI limit to having Lap? I am thinking of having Open. I know there are risks of infection and a longer healing time. I think I like the idea of the surgeon being able to " see " everything. But, is it really " necessary " ? Can the surgeon see the same things Lap but maybe limited view? I have asked my support friends and family their opinion and they are mixed. I think if I can decide on Open or Lap, then that will narrow my decision on which surgeon to choose. Thanks again for you help! ~ Dublin, CA approved to PB no date yet!
