Hi, I am one year out of surgery. I have lost about 150 pounds and I just found out that I have an umbilical hernia with some bowel looped through it. I have been in extreme pain, and in the emergency room twice. I was told by the surgeon at the Barix Clinic that I need to get this repaired as soon as possible, but I am having problems finding a surgeon to do it really soon. They all want to schedule me out sometime the end of April or May. I heard that lots of women that have this type of hernia repair also have the tummy tuck done at the same time so they can use their insurance for most of the costs. Can someone give me names and numbers of surgeons??
