What should I be asking surgeons for correction of diastasis recti and umbilical hernia? What answers do I want to hear? (Photo)

Tummy Tuck/Umbilical Hernia Repair: I'm getting ready to book and I've interviewed 2 very highly recommended surgeons and liked them both a LOT. Leaning toward one slightly more than the other because he bills insurance (thanks, umbilical hernia, for being a "medical condition!"). HOW do I know which plastic surgeon is The One? I like both options- should I search for more? I could go nuts researching. What questions do I ask a PS and what are the AH HA! answers that help me make the decision?
