Anybody go to Dr. Farhan in Flint Michigan? Did you like him?

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.

I had my first appointment with him yesterday and I really liked him.

Dr. Farhan and Dr. Kralovich did my surgery on December 29th and I am doing wonderful. Just know that there are always two Dr.'s in the operating room with you when you go in for wls. Good Luck!

How long did it take for you to have the surgery? I had my first appointment yesterday but my psych evaluation is already done. I am anxious and just want to get it done so I can work on becoming healthy and thinner again!! How was the pre-op diet?

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.
