Laparoscopic vs Open

At the end of next month my surgeon will be making this decision..if he can't proceed with the Laparoscopic he'll open me up. Bigger scar and longer recovery time. In which I can't afford either but I can't take the pain anymore. I trust my surgeon to do what he needs to do. He has operated on my dad, my mother, my step-mother, my son and I'm next. But before surgery I have to undergo the scope down my throat. Hey I had it up the ass already, so why not the other way. No prep for this one other than no food and water after midnight. So for the next month or so I'll be poked and proded and hopefully get better. Dlaine is not looking forward to this!
