I tell ya - Aetna does not make it easy. They will not put you through to the case worker handling your claim. They keep advising to check with your Doc. Your Doc says - "Everything has been submitted and we're waiting for an answer"......

 

Finally, Yesterday I was approved :thumbup:. Just got back from the hospital and took care of my pre-admitting tests - EKG, Chest X-Ray, Blood Work and met the anestheologist.

 

GOOD TO GO FOR 5/11/09. Continue on the pre-op liquid diet. Not too bad ( Yet). My Rosie Girl made me an awesome weight watchwers vegetable soup....SO GOOD :biggrin:

    Yeah, I have aetna and it was an"absolutely not' if you dont have a BMI of 40 no matter what other comorbs you have! I just didnt feel I had the psychological reserve to gain that much weight and I guess I'm very lucky that I could self-pay...the good thing about self pay is it goes very fast! John, I will really be thinking of you on that Monday as I will be loafing around postop!!! Best of Luck!! Cali
