If he sent your referral to the options program then once you complete all your requirements (Weight Loss, Options classes, Psych eval, support group etc.) then you meet with the surgeon and if you meet everything ur good to go... Nothing else once i started options came from my primary doctor he just had to send the initial referral for me to start options.

Co pays... For Chest X-ray, EKG, Labs, and appointments..... it depends on your plan with kaiser...... whatever your copays are for those things you will have to pay....... For me i got a copay when i went in and then was billed for an additional amount i think its totaled about 400 so far with labs, and all the copays over the last 5 months so its spread out a little but it just depends on your copay amounts you could always call and see what yours are if you dont know

Also i know once the surgery is done there are copays for that as well and copays for each night you have to stay in the hospital after surgery and i know mine is like 250 a night plush whatever the copay is for the procedure.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
