Sorry if this thread has already been started, but I searched for hours and can't see the info that I need. I live in the Antioch Kaiser Area. My Dr. sent my referal for WLS to the Fremont Kaiser Bariatric department. I have an apointment for the orientation in 20 days, so I called them to ask why I was sent to them and not Richmond and they said it is becasue I am in their referal area.

While there is plenty of info on the Richmond Kaiser surgery caenter, I can not find any on the Fremont Kaiser. This concerns me as I have read just a few post on another site where others have said that while they do offer Lap Band, the surgens tend to lean twards RYN and push their patients to do so. When I was talking to the receptionist at the Fremont center, she did say that they do less LB's and that it is mostly based on what the surgun recomends.

While I know that I should take what the surgen has to say into consideration, I feel that LB is the only way to go for me. I have been researching it for some time now, and I know what I need.

So what I need to know is there anyone on here that has succesfully been banded at the Fremont surgery center and what is your story? Thank you all for your help!
