  1. Kaiser - Oregon question

    mkurtz52 posted a topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
    I have multiple comorbid conditions (diabetes & sleep apnea) and requested my PCP refer me for Bariatric Surgery. I received the following response, ""you must have 1 or more comorbid conditions UNCONTROLLED despite maximal medical treatment: Htn, OSA, triglycerides >1000, lower extremity edema w ulceration, diabetes". Has anyone else been required to have UNCONTROLLED comorbid conditions? They want me to wait until I am covered by Medicare to send my referral. All help is appreciated.

    I've taken Mastering Weight Management but they want me to wait to have my Dr referral until I have Medicare (June). Would someone tell me what classes and their length would be left for me to complete before surgery? My BMI is over 35, I am diabetic and have sleep apnea as well as other issues. I appreciate any information. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

  3. Stupid question, but do they strip you nude in surgery?
