Guest guest Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 , Just make an appointment with you primary doctor and tell them that you are interested in the gastric bypass. That will get the ball rolling. It will take a few months you need to go to a couple gastric bypass classes, nutrionist, loose 10% and so on. But they will explain all of that when you go to the first class. caligirltt1980 wrote: Ok so I ahve decided againt lap band. I want Lap Bypass. How do I get Kiaser to cover this?
