Default Kaiser Permanente?

I'm interested to see if anyone has had any experience with the process through Kaiser. I have it through my husband's employer (union) and have found out that I will have no copay for the procedure. I contacted my doctor to see if she's willing to give referrals/get me started with that I need to do, she has said yes and that I do meet criteria. There is a program called Options (I think) that is a 24 week program that I will need to go through first. It's all in house from the sound of it, but I would really like some input on anyone's experience.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

I had my surgery a few days ago, and seem to be doing pretty well. I'm in the So Cal region so my experience may be a little different though go ahead and ask away
