looks like this has been here a few months. The answer is YES Kaiser does. There is a lenghty process that you must complete before getting any surgery though. Starting with a referal from your physician. Several co morbitities must exist. i.e. high blood pressure, diabetes etc.
You have to go to an initial class which usually takes a couple of months to get scheduled. Then there is another 2 month wait to begion the required 20 class sessions , followed by a meeting with a surgeon, followed by another couple of months to the surgery. Kaiser does gastric band, roux en y, and
gastric sleeve.
Good luck
