I am a 40 year old female who is approximately 100 lbs over weight.  I have been overweight my entire life.  I have been on many diets and have lost and gained.  I tried the pills years ago, and they worked for awhile, but then they stopped and I gained weight again.  I have a problem with my lower back, so it is getting harder for me to function.  I have two boys ages 16 and 14 and a husband who is on disability due to heart and back problems.  He is overweight also, but can loose weight easier then I can.  I am interested in the lap band surgery, but don't know if Kaiser will allow me to have it done.  Does anybody have any information on this?
