My Lap Band Experience So Far

So my first visit to True Results was September 28th. At that appointment they told me I what I needed to do to be able to have surgery before Christmas. My insurance is Aetna POS and I needed 3 weight loss visits (they told me my visit that day counted as one, I had my second one on October 31st) 2 nutritional visits (had one the first visit also, will have my second one on my third appointment), a psych appointment (had that on November 4th) and weight history from my doctors (called 1week after my initial appointment and they already had everything they needed). My third appointment is scheduled for Nov 30th, at this appointment I will see the Nutritionist again, have blood work, an EKG and a breathing test. I am assuming they will submit my paperwork to insurance at this time.

Has anyone who has Aetna POS insurance gone down this road? I am curious how long it took to get approved. And then once you were approved how quickly was your surgery scheduled?
