My surgery is on hold. I guess BCBS of MI put different requirements on the surgery for me. My BMI is 48.5 so i fall short of the 50 BMI w/o diet history. They don't like my diet history so I have to do 6 months first. Baricks in Ann Arbor said my BMI is over 50 so they can do it any time. Problem is they are a long way away from my support. I am going to schedule and appointment here in Saginaw and talk to them. My big issue is I have a huge hernia on my stomach that is very painful. I do not think I can wait 6 months to have it all fixed. I am not sure what I need to do.

I am considering him also but know nothing about him or the clinic. The barix center is opening an office in Saginaw I might check them out.
