Was a humpty dumpty

Thank you I feel better now.

Has anyone been told you might not be approved if your health risks are being controlled by meds? I am going through Kaiser HMO.

My GP told me.

Anyone out there gone with Kaiser Palmdale/Lancaster for the VSG? How was it getting approved and how long was the process. Who was your DR? Were the classes available for after 5 or Saturdays (I work FT)? Thank you!

I have nothing but good comments about Dr.Yadegar. I just found out today one of my co-workers had her surgery(by-pass) performed by him. Hopefully I will be referred to him when the time comes. I stopped by the health ed dept at Kaiser, to find out when I will called and they said wait for a package in the mail. So know I wait so more!

Great thank you.

Thank you for the update..

I feel the same and I am only just starting the process. I am still waiting for Kasier to call to start things off.. It`s driving me nuts.

Good Luck, I will be thinking about you next Monday.. Dont worry you will be fine.

Hi neighbor! I am so glad you posted this, it answered many of my questions. I live in the AV and also have Kaiser. My referal was sent in by GP last Friday. Please keep us posted with your journey.

Thank you..

Hi Aplus, I thought the same thing oh I would never do that, or surgery is for the people that are so big they can't walk. After seeing two co-workers who had a bypass, lose so much weight and theysay its the best thing they have ever done. I really started to look into it I think the VSG is the choice for me. Last week my Dr agreed and sent in the referral. I am so tired of being tired, and taking 6 meds sometimes more a day with the side effects. So now I am stressing hoping I get approved. I have Kasier and not sure how they are about approving. When are you having the surgery? Jackie
