  1. 3 months with nutrician, psych evaluation and pulimnary. I gained a few pounds the first month but then lost. My BMI is at 41 with high blood pressure. I aleady had major surgery this year so my deductable and maximum payout has been met. I am worried they will take that into consideration since they would have to pay 100%. I have a pre-set surgery date of November 1st. Really hope everything falls into place.
  2. I also have my last appt today and have Aetna. So nervous!!! Best of luck to you, Ihope it works out for both of us!
  3. Congratulations!! Best of luck to you. I have my final appointment tomorrow and then it goes in for approval with Aetna. Fingers crossed!!
  4. Congrats Maddysgram!!!! So happy for you.
  5. I also have Aetna Choice POS II. My first appointment was in July and did not meet with the nutrientist until my second visit in August, within that time I had gained weight. Now I am in a panic that I will not be approved by Aetna. My last appointment is October 10th and then my papers get submitted. I was not advised to see a trainer outside of the normal office visits. However I already did the physc evaulation but the sleep study was denied. I can't stop thinking about this, it is driving me nuts!! Good luck everyone!
  6. I'm in ocean county too. Jackson area. I have aetna and they denied my sleep study. What r the chances of getting approved for the lapband? Getting very discouraged.

  10. My last appt is Oct 10th....then it gets submitted for approval. Very nervous about this too. I have my surgery date schedule for November 1st. Hope insurance approves it. Good luck to everyone on here!!
  11. I am so sorry that you had to go through such a horrible experience. I hope things turn around for you and get back to living a healthy and pain free life. Good luck to you and stay strong.
  12. Schedule my op date for November 1st!! So excited and nervous at the same time. It is all I can think about.....hope I end up with a successful story and not one of the horrors I have been reading about. I think I need to stay off the internet.
