Can you switch from Care choices to Preferred choices? It is just the PPO instead of the HMO for Mercy Health. They paid for mine and a co-workers, eventhough it was out of network. Have you been to Bariatric Treatment Center, or called? They can tell you if Care Choices will pay.

Hi. My syster used to live near Ann Arbor and had surgery there. She went to TBC, I think. http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/mdcomments.phtml?N=k19 is the web link. Also, www.bariatrics.com. 1-800-282-0066. Dr. Bistoriales. She loved him.
