Bubble, I woul dsay get the approval, then also check into another surgeon and get a second opinion. I had a csection, hysterectomy and 2 abdominal approach back surgeries, I also had my appendix removed. I had alot of adhesions and scar tissue, my surgeon told me she would attempt the Lap RNY if too difficult she would do open or band. Fortunately for me she was able to clear away the adhesions and was abl to perform the lap RNY with no problem. ALot of times the surgeon will see once they get in there it is not as bad as they had originally thought it would be. I work for these surgeons and hear them every day say " wow that was not as bad as anticipated" so hang in there. Go talk to this surgeon and maybe get a secong opinion. BUT also remember, you are the patient and what you feel is the proper procedure my not in reality be the right one for you, THE surgeon is the mst knowledgable and is the expert at the decision not you. We are the patient for a reason and they went to school for a reason. But on the other hand you need to feel comfortable and have confidence in your surgeon. Good Luck, let us know how it goes.
