I have Aetna as well. My VSG was on 12-31-2012 it only took 3 days for approval once I had completed all of the requirements that Aetna has. Your surgeon will guide you in what you have to complete to get insurance approval it does take some time but all in all it took me right at 4 months to complete everything and get my approval.

check out the this website "The world according to eggface" She has tons and tons of great ideas for shakes one of which is Protein ice cream. I am going to by the ice cream maker she talks about I am 5 1/2 wks post op and so done with shakes they are making me sick.

So far it's been good. I was hopeful to be one of the lucky few who don't have pain. Not my case' date=' the morphine makes me sick and throw up so we had to switch. I am loaded on anti nausea meds still. Right now feels a lot better then this morning. They said I can go home tomorrow. I hope i feel a lot better by then.

Biggest thing is, I have a lot of pain and don't doubt or regret the surgery one but.[/quote']

The pain will ease up in a few days.

I had my surgery 5 weeks ago today. I have had ups and downs but I would not change my mind. I have lost 32 pounds and I can play with my young sons for the first time without being exhausted or in constant pain.

had my surgery on dec 31st as well

I am glad it went well make sure to walk that is the key to feeling better faster . I am five weeks post op today it only gets better

I had surgery on 12/31 I am 5 weeks today still on soft Protein having a great deal of trouble with getting food down. it sea if I eat food I can't get all of my fluids in that day as well. I have 2 wait 30 mins before n after eating 2 drink anything n I can't drink when eating. there is just not enough time in the day any suggestions

good luck I am 5 weeks post op today and I am so happy you will have ups n downs but it truly has changed my life what a wonderful journey this is.
