You look awesome!! Way to rock that sleeve!

I will try and make this short. For those of you have Aetna, how long did you have to do the supervised diet plan with the nutritionist? I made an appt with a doc, went for my first consult and was told that Aetna requires a 3 month course with a nutritionist. I completed all of my requirements including the course with the nut back in Feb. Then my doc ran into a problem with where he could do my surgery, because Aetna now requires the surgery be done at an IOQ, which the hosp. he works out of is not, and he was waiting to get privs at one that was. I got tired of waiting. So, I decided to switch docs. Now I am being told that Aetna requires a 6 month course with a nutritionist. Which means, that I have to start now with the 3 months to fini**** Had I been told this to begin with, I could have been continuing the course and not just sitting here for the past 3 months. I am so frustrated. Why would I be told such wrong info? So, for those of you who used Aetna for your surgery, was it a 3 month or 6 month diet with a nutr. that you had to follow? Thanks for any info!!
