I understand that it was her opinion, but it is unfair to the newbies and preops without much experience to go to surgeons who do the surgery open thinking that they are just not willing to learn the lap procedure, which is what Jane seemed to me to be saying. Often, there are a lot of other factors involved and I think people need to be aware of the whole situation. I have has wls twice, once lap and once open and I feel that the emphasis on lap surgery is completely unnecessary. I had my DS open and would not hesitate to do it again.
