Hello Everyone,

I am new here and am excited to be a part of this journey with all of you. Has anyone ever had a lap band procedure done at Kaiser? I live in the East Bay and have heard that the Fremont Kaiser medical center does perform the lap band procedure.

Also, I need to lose about 45 pounds. I had breast cancer, full mastectomy and reconstructive surgery. My plastic surgeon wants me to lose this weight so I can have another breast surgery to match better. I've tried everything, personal trainer, Meridia, diets, but it just stays put!

I would greatly appreciate your guidance....

Sincerely,

There are 3 Kaiser programs in NorCal that do WLS. Fremont, So SF and Richmond.

And that's all I know since I don't have Kaiser any more.

Hi, I'm new here also, but I wanted to say I have heard that Kaiser does do Lap Band. Don't know about Fremont, though, as I live on the East Coast! But I'm sure if you give them a call or look on their website you can probably find out pretty quickly.

Also wanted to say congratulations on being a breast cancer survivor. I also am a survivor -- 5 1/2 years now. That's one reason I am having WLS -- to minimize the risk of a recurrence. I wish you a lot of luck with your journey!

Peace,

Ann
