This is happening to me too. I am also having issues with Cole in my throat. It's really driving me crazy! I'm a month post op.

When you find out, please let me know. I am also looking for something for my scars.

No I'm not using that, but I will now. I am drinking protein as much as I can.

How long ago did you have the surgery?

I am 11 days post op, I would like to know how long is the sipping stage. It's very hard for me, I be so thirsty I just want to gulp the water down. So far I have lost 27lbs, but I'm always tired and weak. I get out of breath from just getting dress. I just don't know. Please help me understand is this normal.

I have glue on my incisions and tomorrow will be a week. How long is the glue suppose to last?

I have Aetna also and my BMI was 39 also have sleep apnea. Aetna then request 2 yrs weight history, once they got that I was approved the next day. Good luck!

Yay....do u have a date?

thanks!

I'm approved, so excited!

I'm approved

My doctors office faxed my weight history to Aetna today. I called Aetna just to make sure they received it and they did, its pending. I'm cutting it close because surgery is on 4/16. I pray I have a yes on Monday. I know Aetna is tired of me calling, but I'm trying to stay on top of things.

I should have went with my mind, because I said I was going to get the records just in case and I didn't. They were sent to Aetna this morning, so hopefully I can get an approval to being the fact that's all they need is weight history.

My surgeons office is still waiting on weight history from another doctor's office that is so unorganized. So I requested my records from my obgyn office yesterday. Aetna said everything else is fine, they just need to sew that I have been over weight for the past 2 yrs. They have asked for this almost a week ago and Im trying to be patient. My surgery is scheduled for the 16th of this month. I am praying that everything will work out in my favor. I feel that being the fact there just asking for weight history and that's it, I think I will be fine.

Update.....my doctors office just called and said Aetna said everything looks good, they just need records showing that I have been over weight for the past 2 year. I hope thus doesn't slow the process down. My doctor is calling my PCP to get my records.

Thanks...good luck to you!

So my doctor office sent the precert on 3/19 I called Aetna on 3/20 just to make sure they received the request and they did. I called them back today 3/25 and its still in review. I will be calling them back Friday. I am praying this all works out in my favor.

I just called Aetna and they just received my precert yesterday. The doctors office never sent it out when they were suppose to. I spike with a rep and he stated that its under nurse review. I am praying that I get approved.

I have Aetna and my doctor's office just sent off my packet last Friday. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea as well. I am just waiting to see if I get approve. I don't know if I have to do all the other supervised diet plans being the fact that I have sleep apnea. I pray that all goes well, I'm just so anxious to find out. I don't know if its to early to call Aetna to find out.

Thank you, I will be handling that on Monday.

Congrats!

i have aetna and i pray i dont have to go through that with them. my doctors office just sent out the paper work to them today and my surgery date is next month. I am praying that you get what you need in time for your surgery next week tue. i will keep you in my prayers.
