Get April I sent you a friend request but I don't think I've been added yet

Hey April I sent you a Facebook request too jesikah porter

I do have pictures but my advocate says Aetna is so strict about what they want.

Well update I got the necessary information that wad requested. The only problem now is they want a weight history for 2011 other than my initial consult. Unfortunately I didn't see a doctor who took my weight so hopefully they will accept the initial consult weight for 2011 and look back at all my other past history of weight. Thinking positively!

Well the insurance company requested more documentation so I have been on a wild goose chase to get in touch with my previous physicians to get this documentation in a timely fashion. I an so stressed out I hope all goes well. Anyone else had to submit additional documentation?

Hey add me my tentative date is July 11th. Waiting on approval from insurance.

I had an option to either do the 6 months or 3 months supervised by a physician. I opted for the 3 months although it's still been almost g months just to get to this point due to other complications such as having to have a sleep study finding out I have sleep apnea then having to gave a 2nd sleep study to be fitted fur a cpap machine both of which took almost 2 months to complete, but now that's it's over I'm just WAITING!

my paperwork was sent in today to my insurance company (aetna) so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a quick approval. my tentative surgery date in july 11th,

I just got off the phone with my advocate and my date is July 11th contingent everything is cleared...it just seems more tangible have a "date."

Glad to hear that you are doing fine. Praying for a speedy recovery.

i just recieved my bill for my first night (sleep study). The office billed my insurance company 3500. The insurance copany paid all but $30.00. By the way I have Aetna. So I agree with everyone else that what you recived was just the insurance claim not your bill. Your bill will specifically state what was billed to the insurance company and what was paid by the insurance company, and of course what is remaining to be paid by you.

I too am waiting. The biggest surprise that I had was finding out that I had sleep apnea. It took me a few days to get over the initial shock, but I am coping with the diagnosis and it has even motivated me even more to go through with this surgery.

Thanks for that info because I am not a fan of milk either so I'm going to try nectar products

I'm praying for a June date. Currently I'm waiting on a response from the insurance company.

thanks for the information. I too have been very skeptical about what protein drink will be better for me, being that I'm already not a milk drinker nor am I big on chocolate so this is going to be difficult.

I am in Atlanta and I am hoping to be sleeved in June. All paperwork was submitted to the insurance company yesterday so fingers, toes, and even eyes are crossed hoping that it gets approved.

Here is my email would love if someone could send me a copy of their daily chart. Jesikah_2000@yahoo.com

thanks thats exactly what my husband said to me as well. Im going to take it in stride and try to remain positive.

I feel your pain...I contacted my PCP almost a week ago in regards to faxing over my medical clearance letter and as of today it still hadn't been received. After calling the office I now have to wait again. I have done all that has been asked of me during the past 6 months and I got the most disturbing ohone call this morning saying that I have been diagnosed with sleep apnea. Although I know being over weight comes with a lot of health risks I thought that I had just been lucky to not have had high blood pressure, diabetes, or any other weight related condition, but it never crossed my mind that sleep apnea would be something I now have to deal with. Not only that next week when all my paperwork is submitted to the insurance company its still not a guarantee that the surgery will be approved so I just feel like pulling all of my hair out. Anyone else having to deal with this?
