I have polycystic ovarian syndrome which is triggered worse by my weight, I can't have kids because of it, my cysts rupture everyday, my knees and hip dislocates , I'm flat flooded with a bad back, constant migraines and headaches from my PCOS , pre diabetic not to mention hypertension, heart disease and morbid obesity runs crazy in my family like 500+ lbs!!! I'm on depo and other pills to control my PCOS which ha caused me to gain SO Much weight! I can't work out like I'd like because I'm in so much pain.. Wonder if they'll take that into consideration and it'll be enough! I've never been below 200 in my life so it's not like I just got fat ya know if I don't get this I am doomed idk what I'm going to do

Aetna denied me too this week!!!! They are looking at my weight from 4 years ago!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so mad!! Now I have to fix this issue and go trough this appeal process:( uhg I'm suppose to have the best coverage plan but having nothing but issues with them!!

I got denied as well this week! I've been an absolute wreck crying my eyes out:( now onto the appeal process in june. Good luck with you!!!!!!!! Prayers coming your way it's so nerve wracking I know first hand

I'm NOT doing the IUD at all.. Heard too many horror stories about people not being able to Conceive after it comes out... My fiend just got the birth control that is in settled under your skin in your arm and is good for 3 years... I might look into that.. Heard bc pills are less effective after getting sleeved maybe that would be a better option? I think it was called nexplannon or something along those lines

Yeah like I said I'm totally not getting it lol too many side effects from what I've heard yikes!

Yeah I'm totally not getting it . Too many stories about not being able to have babies afterwards :-/ yikes! Thanks for everyone's advice though!

This surgery is my only hope to cute my PCOS

Appealing **

Well I was just denied for the sleeve yesterday I'm gonna go through the speaking process in June please send prayers

I don't understand why the heck Aetna is doing this and being SO difficult ! My surgeon actually said he has never seen something so ridiculous before in his career dealing with insurance companies its the first time he's seen this happen Im like GO FIGURE!!! My luck! So now I have to get as many doc letters as I can.... Perezjewels what was the reason for denial??? What did you do and how long ago was this!?!

Been crying my eyes out all day. Gonna attempt to appeal but idk how to feel about anything right now.. Really let down, discouraged and feeling defeated in life. Prayers needed and words or encouragement .. Thanks..

My mom is working it out as we speak so fingers crossed! And I have the BEST Aetna coverage of all the plans and its a $25,000 surgery and we only pay $800-$1000 out of pocket. Thanks everyone! In trying to stay hopeful and positive

Thanks soul :-/ I think something got screwed up because I did everything on the list and the hospital said they received all documents and submitted but according to my insurance I didn't!?? It's mind boggling I don't get it? We're gonna get to the bottom of it .. So aggravating !! Just more freaking hoops to jump through, I'm sure they hope I accept the denial and leave it at that but heck no there will be blood were fighting this! And if it wasn't meant I'm just gonna have to accept that it wasn't gods plan and well idk what I'm going to do uhg

Excuse me Naroby80 if you want to be rude and make comments like that then get off of my forum this is for support not arrogant responds. And I DID submit all my information LIKE I SAID if you read^ my insurance said they didn't have the supporting documents. So again, don't rub me the wrong way I am in no mood for your rude remarks at a time like this! And for everyone else we are going to appeal it tomorrow, we think the surgeons office missed a document and we will get to the bottom of it tomorrow thanks for all your support, It's appreciated all my VSG loves. Ill keep everyone in touch.

They said I haven't been obese for more then two years which is BULL I've never in my life been under 240-278 for the past 6 years ad they said I never completed a 6 month diet dietician thing when the insurance coordinator for Aetna gave me a 3 month diet dietician thing with physicals and clearance from doctors and psychiatrists I did everything they told me to and they are saying I didn't I'm SO mad I'm at a loss for words

Aetna

Yeah I did everything.. I knew in my heart I would get it then got denied today after months of dietician , doctor apts and wasted money .. Mom said insurance companies are getting more strict due to Obama care.. We're gonna try and fight it but who knows what will happen ..this was suppose to change my life , now idk of ill ever get the chance to be healthy

They see one they've seen them all!!!.I work health care and trust me if you are worried about that us as health care professionals think nothing of it, not like your gonna see them again thats what I tell myself when i go through the TSA LMAO..I could care less if they see me naked...ha I feel bad for them ...lol but no really in all honestly usually they want you completely naked underneath your gown and just like that guy said up there ^^ anesthesia will take care of any modesty issues lol!

HEARTBREAKING. We often forget how truly lucky and blessed we are and take everything for granted. SO sad, i do home care with no tv so I had no clue of this tornado till I just got home and turned on CNN When is all of this destruction going to end sending prayers. thank god your family is safe <3

Thanks girls for all your input so far you guys are talking great things about it but now I have that negative feedback comment stuck in my head of what happened to that poor girl:( hope that wouldn't be the case with me :-/

NEVERMIND lol you commented on someones forum post who is..just kidding!

Thanks girl! isnt your surgery in a few hours? I thought I read that, if so GOOD LUCK!!

I have PCOS and was actually wondering this same question!! I even talked to my mom about it today! ITS HELL. Im pre OP and just this week EVEN ON BIRTH CONTROL I was almost a week late ( about gave me a heart attack) I just dont know when its gonna end uhg! I was curious too if it would even itself out or if i should stop taking my pills and get an IUD put in so I wont gain weight with the pills even more after surgery. Hope you find your answer! Im curious too!
