You said Southern California ? Kaiser ? is it a Kaiser Doctor who is your PCP If so he needs to refer you to the Bariatrics department at Kaiser with a BMI of 51 you will qualify but the waiting list is a long one at Kaiser... Check into Docs in your area on this site and also Peer sites good luck and yes this operation will change your life for the better Kathy
