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.

Then you should be good.... I would just double check on the copays for the xrays and ekgs before you get them because i wasnt expecting to pay like 50 when i went and had them done....
