I am currently going through the process to have lapband. Starting my 6 month supervised diet this week. Done my sleep apnea, stress test, pulminary function test, and a few more. Waiting for results. I have aetna NAP choice POS II. I want to make sure since i am spending all of this money for these test and supervised diets (around $ 800) that i have every thing that aetna needs to approve me for the surgery. The only thing that i worry about is the proof of being 40+ bmi for 5 years, even though i have. There were a few years in between that i didn't go to the doctor (not even the female doctor ) so i not for sure if i can come up with these records. So i would just like to here anyones experience with aetna good or bad. I really want this surgery so information would be very appreciated and helpful.

<p>my insurance company ( aetna choice ppo II) requires you to have proof that you have been 40+ bmi for at least five years. i have been for over five years but being that i was never really sick and didn't have insurance till three years ago i never went to the doctor. so i dont have the documentation to prove this. i just now got a pcp. what should i do?? will they not cover me because if this?</p>
