@@Orlando79c I had my surgery at Kaiser, I have platinum and the surgery itself (and hospital stay) was $50, although I also had to pay $500 for materials and about $200 in pre-op classes, lab co-pays and office visits. Best of luck to you!

I have Kaiser Nor Cal and my company doesn't offer Bariatric Surgery in our plans. I called Kaiser and asked if I could still qualify if my plan specified it didn't cover the surgery and they told me that as long as we qualify (40 BMI or higher, 35 or higher with co-morb.) then they would cover the surgery. So even if the plan states it doesn't cover the surgery, they still do if you qualify. It's really confusing. Call Member Services :)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
