How long did it take you to get approved, it's been 2 weeks and I have not heard anything yet, should I be getting nervous. I did the supervised diet with nutritionist, 5 year weight history, BMI-46, and Sleep Apnea. Best of luck to you!!

How long did it take? I am just curious, it has been a week today for me! I am jealous, best of luck Melissa. Are you already scheduled for surgery?

I lost 9 months first month, gained 2.6 the next month. Nutrionist advised that was okay, shouldn't have any problems getting approved.

I am waiting for insurance approval. I had my last appt. with the nutritionist and the Dr.'s office. They will submit my paperwork to Aetna, hopefully everything will be fine. Everything has gone rather smoothly. Please keep your fingers crossed.

I am currently going through the process. I have had my psychological evaluation and currently meeting with nutritionist, should be finished around Dec. 2, hopefully able to have surgery around Christmas time. What a wonderful Christmas gift!!
