Need a WLS friendly Doctor - Saginaw

SO my doctor says he doesn't consider me morbidly obese.....so he does not agree that I need the surgery. I am 5'5" and 246. Hurley says I qualify for the surgery as long as I can meet the insurance requirements....Anyone know of a WLS friendly doctor in the Saginaw area? Dumb questions maybe - but I am quite desperate. ANY suggestions PLEASEEEEEE!!!

Cindy, Valley Urgent Care on Bay Road is my PCP. I had to have a 12-month supervised program to meet insurnace requirements. The physician's assistant, Stephanie, was very supportive and wonderful to work with. I had a BMI of 41. I went through Hurley. Marie

MY Dr is Dr jarema she is good with WLS as long as she know you have tried.....she encouraged me once she knew that I was going to do it she was vrey excited for me and has called me post op to she how I was doing..... I LOVE HER

I am gonna go back and read your journey........Someday I hope to be where you are at right now!!!! Hope you are doing great!!!!!! Thanks again!!! Cindy
