Switching To Kaiser After Being Banded

[RobinGirl 34]

Has anyone switched their insurance to Kaiser after being banded? I just changed jobs and they only offer Kaiser for medical insurance. Will Kaiser administer fills or provide care for any lap band issues that hopefully will never occur?

I would ask the plan administrator, and then give the insurance company a call, and ask.

If weight loss surgery is in your plan. I have kaiser they take care of all my stuff. There are also many people in our support groups that did not have the original surgery with kaiser.
