Kaiser Colorado?

[pookie 0]

Hi, I am just starting out on this journey and was wondering if there is anyone out there who used Kaiser in Colorado, and if so could you tell me a little bit about the process they make you follow. I met with my PCP last week who believes I should qualify and is going to finish up my paperwork after my blood work comes in and send it in. What can I expect if I get an acceptance letter? Thanks for any info.

Hi Pookie, I have Kaiser in California and I'm just starting the process as well. I asked my PCP about the Lap-Band and she referred me to the bariatric department. I received a letter from the bariatric dept. within 2 weeks stating that I'm scheduled for an orientation on May 22. It also said that I'd need to go to my PCP beforehand for some blood work, a urine sample, chest xray and an ekg. I had all of that done last friday, so now I'm waiting to attend orientation. I can't wait! I'm not sure what to expect with any of this, but I want to get the ball rolling as soon as possible! I'll let you know how orientation goes after next tuesday...
