Thanks for the info LeahG. I will definitely go to Barix and check out their informational meeting. I have the same type of thing set up for U of M on May 1st. I especially like how little BCBS looks into the past weight loss since I didn't really record much of it long term but have tried numerous times in the last two years.

Ugh...my insurance said they cover all Bariatric surgery centers in the area, but when I called Barix, they said that they don't have a contract with them. I guess it's U of M for me...

I'm having surgery at U of M on Monday 4/23, Dr. Varban. YEP THAT'S THIS COMING MONDAY -YIPPPEEEEEE!!! I also work for them, although I work from home. My husband had his sleeve at the U last year with Dr. Dimick. Anyway, I love the U and think highly of them. Great group of professionals in the Bariatric Department. You'll be in good hands MrKraid. Any questions, etc., just ask me. You can also private message me and I'll be happy to answer whatever I can. Good luck!

How is everyone in MI doing?

Funny thing arj, I was looking at some older posts and saw your picture; remembered about the bleeding and was wondering how you were doing!! I'm 12 days postop and doing good. I have been really tired the past couple days so that's kinda been a drag; but otherwise, doing well and no regrets!! How are you?

I am doing much better. I am still really weak but so glad I had the surgery! My blood numbers are normal! Just trying to get my Protein in. Glad to hear you are doing well! I am going to weigh myself today so hopefully I will have a good number.
