I will definitely ask about the liver issue as it gets closer... I had a coworker who had WLS done at this same hospital two years ago, they did her laproscopically and she was way over the 50 BMI. But they also had her do the no-carb, protein-shake thing for 2 weeks before surgery-- perhaps that was due to the liver so that they could hopefully do it laporoscopically.

Sounds like docs who are looking at each person individually, which is great. I know the other center in my area does still try to go lap on people with higher BMI's if they can. What I liked most is the quicker healing, less pain, and minimal scarring, but if they had a valid reason for it, I'd have went with open.
