I've had quite a few abdominal surgeries including Open RNY in 2002. I wonder what the chances are that they will have to switch from laparoscopic revision to open because of scar tissue.

Hello! 

Unfortunately I do not have too much input on whether or not your surgery will end up being open or not-- (I pray that it is not, and that you have a speedy and safe recovery!) 

i wanted to ask which doctor are you going to to have this done, I am looking for a revision myself from my rny and I'm originally from pa as well! :)
