  2. I was totally suprised it took this short of time to approve! My coordinator told me she submitted wednesday afternoon right after my final appointment and come Monday morning I called and it had just been approved right before I called! Aetna told me it only takes 7 to 10 days and my coordinator told me 3 weeks but it came in 5 days so I was super excited! I'll say a little prayer yours comes quick as well!
  3. Sooooo I called my insurance this morning because I couldn't take the suspense and they told me I was approved!!! B.J, I have Aetna which I know is not the same as yours but hopefully the outcome will be the same since it was a small gain. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!
  4. I'm going through this same situation. I lost a few lbs for my first 2 appointments and them gained my last two. Total gain from original weight was 1 or 4 lbs ...don't remember specifically. I was told by a friend who had the surgery it didn't matter if i lost or gained i just needed to go.... i in all honesty did not take the visits seriously. So wed the dr office submitted my paperwork...i decided to go on the aetna website to check requirements just to look at them...it was there i read you could not gain weight during the dietician visits. I called my coordinator and she said not to worry about it but i can't help but be concerned as well. I should find out soon if I'm approved.....i just hope i don't get denied over 4 lbs max....i know i could doit just didn't realize it was a requirement.or i would have been disciplined! So mad at myself. I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed for you! Let us know what happens!
