Funny i should see this post today! My manager who is a Senior Sister on a CCU told me today that 'open' was better than keyhole... Don't know why just know that's what she said! We were discussing my surgery and potential time off sick at the time.....

I think if you prepare yourself mentally for the eventuality it could happen then it will be easier when you wake up! xx

I asked at the hospital today about this as I saw something on TV where it was done when the patient was scheduled for keyhole. They had to do open as the weight of her lower stomach was dragging the muscles down from her upper stomach and they needed more room to work.

I was worried about this myself and when I asked at the hospital today the dr said he only ever saw it happen once, so that was reassuring.

Hope this helps
