Can be: The answer depends on the level of obesity, the underlying medical conditions and the comfort level and experience of the surgeon. Part of the art of surgery is choosing the correct surgical approach for each patient and each condition.

Possibly: You need to interview a few surgeons in your area and see if they are comfortable using the robotic surgery suite for your surgery. I think every surgeon will have their own view on this. Best of luck.
