Hi..im just checking up on you and to see how your surgery went

I'm so happy that all i have left to do is my endoscopy on oct 12, Hoping to get approved and surgery in November

Hi..congrats. I hv aetna too, can u ans a ? for me.. I have Aetna Health Maintenance Organization..Im currently 270 with a BMI of 41....I know i qualify with a BMI >40..I'm hearing that Aetna requires a 2 year weight history. Will they deny bc I havent been 270 for the last 2 years. My weight fluctated from 225 to 270

Hi..i see u posted abt Aetna 90 day supervised diet. i hv aetna too..Did u get approved??

Good Luck Im just starting the process as well

Good Luck with your surgery..I see u lost weight during the pre-op..did u dr submit your starting weight of 285 for your approval..My dr told me he uses the initial weigh in for insurance but i was still a little apprehensive about losing any weight

Hello, did you get your approval yet???I hope so by now

Hi, Im just starting this journey myself. I had my first surgeon consult on 8/17/11. My insurance company is making me do a 90 day supervised diet program b4 dr can submit authorization to them. I have been overweight my entire adult life, Im ready for this change

I feel like this 90 day supervised diet will take forever and a day

Congrats, and I enjoyed reading all about your journey on your blog..I habe to do the 90 day supervised diet prior to surgery..Good Luck

Today was a great learning experience. I had my first consultation with the surgeon. I have to do a 90 supervised diet program prior for insurance requirement. I think I can lose 100lbs but Dr said most patients lose 40-45% of their excess weight

Hi, Im just starting the process. I have Aetna also. I hv my first consultation tomm...Did u hv to do a 3 or 6 month workup for aetna??

hi..this is day 6 for you right. How r u feeling and what r u able to eat

Hi..How are you feeling now. Im hoping the pain has subsided by now

so excited that my initial consultation has been bumped up from 10/11/11 til tomm 8/17 b/c of a cancellation

Hi, please keep me posted on your journey. Im hoping to get banded suring the Xmas break

Congrats and I'm just starting the beginning process

Keep up the good work, you will get there. What is your workout regimen? I'm in the beginning stages, I hv my first consultation on 10/11

Hi, Im so excited, i hv my first surgical consultation on Oct 11..I keep calling to see if there are any cancellations, so i can get that date bumped up. I meet with my primary physician tomm, to get my referall. I hope she doesnt tell me I dont really need lap band and dont provide me with my referral. I hv a BMI of 41.I havent told anyone that Im actually pursuing this, i hinted back months ago with my 2 Bff's, one was suppotive and the other said I can do it on my own, but I really cant, I lost weight before, but i gained it all back plus 20..
