im not banded and am just starting the process to get my insurance. I presently go to SoCal Kaiser and spoke with my primary doc yesterday. He said the lapband is not done by Kaiser, and when i disagreed, he told me the same thing again, saying I will need to get the bariatric surgery if im a good candidate. Presently im at 53 BMI. Ive tried many diets over and over again. I get tired walking down the hall. I have trouble climbing the stairs at work without heavy breathing afterwards and I have some back pain issues. Should I just start with this, go to the appt for Orientation for Bariatric Surgery and the Orientation Weight Management? Should I get another primary? Please assist.:tt1:
