Help! Does anyone have Kaiser?

[prettyinpink1971 0]

Hi.

Before I get too excited or discouraged, I wanted to find out if anyone has Kaiser Gwinnett (in Georgia). I've tried EVERYTHING, weight watcher, Atkins, etc. and my weight vacilates between 211 and 185 which is where i'm at now. I'm 5.5 and 185 so according to the BMI graph I'm considered obese. HOWEVER, I wanted to find out about Kaiser before I take any other steps.:confused:

Hi. I have Kaiser but in Northern California.

Your best bet would be to call member services and/or the bariatrics department at the nearest facility to you.

If you are on their website, you can probably find the nearest facility to you that does WLS surgeries.

I had NO problems getting the surgery but I know that if I was in Southern California, I probably wouldn't have been able to get the surgery. They have different requirements. Ones I wouldn't have been able to meet, such as a BMI of 50!

It seems every region of Kaiser may have different "rules" so it's best to check with your own region.

Best wishes!! And welcome to LBT!!
