A while back I posted asking if there were any RNY folks who have sucessfully had a revision approved through Kaiser, and I received no response.  I was just trying my post again.

If anyone is out there, I'd love to hear from ya.

Hey Cassandra,

Have you started the process by getting a referral to the bariatric people with your Kaiser?  I'm not a revision but I know of 2 ladies.  One was in my support meeting, she had a failed labband.  The other lady sent me a PM and I believe she had an RnY and had regained and was getting the referral to the Options program, but instead they told her she had to see the surgeon first because she already had surgery.

You never know right, but I'd definitely say you need to start with a referral from your PCP unless you still go to the bariatric unit for yearly check ups etc.

Thank you for your response.   No I haven't started the process yet.  Just wondering if anyone was successful getting a revision through them.
