Congratulations!!!

It is always such a great milestone in this process! I'm not sure why insurance would approve open over Lap. I always thought that it was the surgeon and patient's decision which procedure to have.

Mrs Squishy and I both had open and it went well. IF you add up the length of all the lap incisions, they might just be the same total length of the open scar.

Congratulations again!!!
