My health insurance, provided by my Most Excellent Employer, is Kaiser Permanente. I was very concerned about try to have them cover my weight loss surgery, since they are an HMO, and I figured they'd prefer that I just shut up and do a diet. But, alas, after talking with my doctor, I was pointed toward their Surgical Weight Loss group. I was skeptical, but followed through.
Well, so far - so excellent. They require me to take 6 consecutive classes in order to schedule the surgery, and the classes are led by the aforementioned nutritionist. She's pretty awesome, and has been super detailed about all of the steps before, during and after the surgery that we've been able to ask. They also have these booklets that we read, discuss and carry around with us. For tonight, I need to read the "Life After Weight Loss Surgery" book - and I have to do it now.
Talk to you later!
