You have to be referred by your general practioner then it is a long process of appts and classes. I have been at this process since October of last. I have heard some people glide right through the process and others, me, meet challenges. It will all be worth it in the end. If feels like jumping through hoops but they (Kaiser) really want you to suceed.

Hi there I started In January 09 I got a referred by my general practioner there was no problem he agreed with me that i needed it. Then the south san francisco kaiser calls u with an appt to go to a class that is very very long they weigh u in and that is the weight they go by as your first weigh iin after that they expect u to lose at least 26 percent of it u have to then see a nutirionist and they dont play if u havent lost at least 10 to 15 percent by the time u see them they will make it hard for u to have your next appt then u see the np for the department and he tells u how much u must be down by the next time he sees u oh yea and u have to see the psych in between that all this takes about 6 months just make sure u lose the weight then u see the doctor and get your date for surgery good luck
