Had you been with Kaiser for a while or was this your first Kaiser visit at all? I have been with Kaiser since Jan 2014 so they have a record of my weight. I've been consistently gaining 10-20 lbs yearly, regardless of how much I diet. I am thinking because they have a record of my weight, they won't just see me as a 40 bmi, and require 3 years of consistently being 40 or above. I am in Orange County, but I think the bariatric program I'd go to is in South Bay. Classes are in Orange.

I am scheduled to talk to my dr about it at the end of this month, but I am mentally preparing myself for her to say no. So I guess I am looking for other people with a BMI under 40 who were still approved. And if my dr says no, for names of Kaiser dr's who actually understand the struggle and don't just tell you to eat less.

Hi there, I am looking for other SoCal Kaiser pts also. My bmi is 39.5 but I don't have any comorbidities that I know of, so I am not sure Kaiser will even approve me. Did you have trouble?

Hi, was this group ever formed? I am interested.
