QUESTIONS ABOUT KAISER PERMANENTE INSURANCE???

HELLO ALL! I'VE BEEN HERE FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS OFF AND ON, THROUGH DIETS AND WEIGHT GAIN, (AGAIN!!) AND NOW HAVE FOUND THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO GET COVERED THROUGH KAISER. I AM VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS, HOWEVER, I AM GETTING MIXED MESSAGES ABOUT THEIR PROGRAM. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ANYONE HAS GONE THROUGH RECENTLY, 2004, AND WHAT THEIR EXPERIENCE WAS LIKE. I WOULD BE REALLY APPRECIATIVE OF ANY INFO. THANKS SO MUCH! I AM NOT GIVING UP ON A BETTER LIFE! HEATHER IN ALBANY!

Hi Heather, I am scheduled to have surgery through Kaiser on 10-18-04. If you have questions email me. I found it helpful to check out the surgeons and the hospital. That will also link you to profiles that have gone thru the program. Good Luck!

Hi Heather, I had surgery on 2/16/04. I went through Kaiser also. You can read my profile and feel free to email me yourself!! Good Luck! Sarah G. 2/16/04 -145

SUPER GREAT WHOOOOOHOOOO! I LOVE THE -145!! HEY GIRL DO YOUR THING DO YOUR THING! HEY GIRL DO YOUR THING, DON'T STOP!! COULDN'T RESIST A LITTLE CHEERLEADING HUMOR FROM MY 8 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER!!! HEATHER

Good luck to you Heather! I didn't have Kaiser (in fact, insurance didn't pay for me) but I hope you get the info you need! Dina

THANKS FOR CARING! I AM LOVING ALL THE SUPPORT!! GOOD LUCK TO YOU!! HEATHER

THANKS EVERYONE FOR ALL THE SUPPORT AND INFORMATION! I CAN STILL USE ALL THE INFO I CAN GET, LIKE, HAS ANYONE HAD A PCP AT THE KAISER PERMANENTE IN SOUTH SALEM? THAT IS THE ONE I AM GOING TO SINCE I LIVE IN ALBANY, AND I WANT ONE THAT IS MORE SUPPORTIVE THAN NOT OF THE WLS! ALSO, ARE DRS. MOIEL AND KOSTA THE ONLY ONES THAT DO THE SURGERY, IN PORTLAND, CORRECT? LET ME KNOW PEOPLE...SAVE ME SOME TIME WHILE YOU CAN, BECAUSE AFTER MY 2 YEARS OF RESEARCH, IT LOOKS LIKE I HAVE LOTS MORE WORK TO DO, WHICH MEANS MORE WAIT TIME...AT LEAST I WILL BE BUSY, RIGHT?! THANKS, HEATHER
