Don't do open if you have a choice, in which I think you should.
I did, lap was longer procedure, and they had to catheter me to get me to pee, while awake! That was the worst part, recovery two weeks, but after first two or three days you start moving around a lot more.
I've heard open is a longer recovery and higher chance of infection, rupture, etc

Also with lap they can check the other side for free, if they find one they charge to repair but the check was free for me.

And your,belly button will be deformed for life.
