I have aetna too. Your first weight when you went to the surgeon and your last weight when they submit for approval is what they are going by. Hopefully your surgeon or nutritionist has you on a pre op diet. Just do all the requirements they want and you shouldn't be denied.

I'm allergic to adhesives too. It's horrible! I had my gallbladder out and the surgical glue didn't bother me. They used almost no tape over the bandages just placed them (they used 2 small piece near my belly button incision) which they removed a few hours later. Just stress how important it is to find other methods to cover wounds. I've even used the tape they use in the NICU that's supposed to be gentle-still was bad!
