Hello,
As far as i know, my best friend has Kaiser and had to go through a year of monitored diets, then has to go through another 8months of group meetings/and loosing 10% of her body weight before Kaiser will do her surgury. (and she's having gastric bypass)
As Far as United, I changed to PPO because i can use an out of network doctor. But, you company will have policies if their plans cover the procedure....You can probably call and ask. Mine does cover it, but a 'exception' or 'case study' had to be opened.... and a BAZIOLLION tests had to be done.. but im ok with those! :)
HOpe that helps...
