Another hernia question...

Well, it looks like I may have a hernia (looks real similar to Dawn's). I went to my PCP and have a appointment set up with a local surgeon next week. My question is, has anyone gone back to Barix to have the procedure done there? I've also heard that it might be possible to get a tummy tuck at the same time? If that's the case, who should I go to, a general surgeon or a plastic surgeon? (Check with insurance first?) Recovery time? Thanks for any help... Mike (330/215/195)
