Rhonda,
It completely depends on your surgeon. I had open and Im 5'7, started at 260 with a BMI of 38.5 So if that helps you give you an idea, my sureon only does open, shes not to comfortable with the lap yet. Plus I felt better knowning that she could SEE everything as opposed to looking through a camera, but that was just me. So Im really not that big and overweight , I was actually the smallest person she has done this procedure on. -
