I have always had a weight problem, with weight gains and losses, but now I am out of control with my weight. I am over 300 lbs. 17 months ago, I was at 200 lbs. I am so miserable, so depressed, that the doctors keep putting me on diets that don't work, and I honestly follow them. I actually excercise too. I think it's the depression pills they have me on along with my other meds that are making me gain so much. I need help. Does anyone know if Kaiser pays any part of the surgery?:scared2:

I know nothing about Kaiser, but if you do not find your answer here....call your insurance company and just ask them if lapband procedure is covered. That is what I did....thankfully it was!! I had reached my highest weight ever and knew I needed to do something soon!! And YES your meds will make you gain weight! Good luck to you:smile2:

I know how you feel about the weight right now i weigh in the 380's. I looked at the scale and i scared myself:scared2: with how much i had gained in one year almost a hundred pounds. Thats when i decided it was times to do something because i couldn't handle this anymore ive be struggling with this since i was five years old it about time i did something good for myself. I'm getting my band on this july and i can't wait to start this journey:biggrin:
