pain of open vs. lap? feedback please

[Guest guest]

I have a tentative date for lap BPD/DS on Jan. 4. I never even

considered having it open, because I have severe Fibromyalgia and i

was very concerned about the recoveryt time and pain.

There have been so many complications recently, and they all seem to

be in Patients who had lap. Now I am wondering if I should consider

open instead.

What are the chances of a leak with open as compared to lap?

What kind of pain are we talking about with open instead of lap?

My BMI is 45 and my main co-morbitities are acid reflux GERD, reflux

induced asthma, boderline diabetes.
