  2. That is awesome that you mentioned the premium protein shake because I originally watched a woman on you tube drinking it and I was interested in trying it and the only place i know she gets it from is costco. I have a coworker that goes there all the time and she's going to get me a bulk and I'm going to pay her back so when she gets me It I will let you know!

  4. I also have aetna & I wasnt required to loose weight. My weight went up 1 lb.
  5. HEy everyone! I saw yall live in Austin & I just moved here in August 2013. I just finished my mandatory requirements on the 17th of this month..and waiting for approval from aetna. Just dropping by to see if you have any advice?! Who was your surgeon?! Were there any complications? Now that its getting closer to the end its making my aniexy all out of whack
  6. Hey Everyone! I am 26 Ive been struggling with my weight since I was in the 4th grade. Ive tryed every diet out there it seems like I'll loose 40 lbs then I'll gain the 40 back PLUS 10-15 more! I have been going through the Aetna process since December. First I started with a seminar and they discussed the three different weight lose surgeries. I was leaning towards the Vertical Sleeve. After my first appointment with the Surgeon Eric Lough at Southwest Bariatric surgeons in Ausitn TX (( BTW if anyone has had him and has already had the surgery Id love to discuss your process)) I decided that the Vertical sleeve would be the best for me! I have already gone through all the required steps for aetna like: getting my 2 year weight history(barely had 2 years) going to a nutrironal and a exercise physiology consulatation(With jerry at SBS in Austin), 4 nutrion consultations (Shelley Madsen & Associates), & I Just finished the Psychological Assessment with Marilyn Ross (Austin). I talked to my Advocacy today & shes getting everthing together to send to my insurance!! I cant believe its already happening im super excited and hopefully I hear something back soon.
  7. Great news Joseainoa! Hopefully I'll be hearing some good news soon from my advocacy too
