Hello everyone,

I wanted to ask if anyone with kaiser norther california has recently had the lap band? How was the process ? was it approved?

I have gone to the orientation,several other classes in roseville, and also did the pshyc evaluation. My primary dr already did the referral..but sadly got denied.

My bmi is 39 with no co/morbites ..it was at 40..but I was working out and have lost a little bit of weight....is there any chance that kaiser will pay for it? please help..I need to know..what to do to apeal the process and how to do it. Any suggestion of how to apeal? Kaiser is such a complicated insurance...

thank u for taking time to read this post...

Hi 2sweet

Unfortunately insurances are strict... Sad to say get your BMI back up to 40. If it is 39, it should not bee too much eight to gain. Kaiser of GA (at least mine) does not even pay for the surgery. Keep your head up and keep at it.
