    I contacted lindstrom as well. I might as well see at they have to say. Even though my Insurance paperwork says they don't cover it....I'm a fighter so if they wore down Aetna for you maybe they can do the same for me. Fingers crossed.

    My plan with Aetna doesn't cover it or so it states in my benefits.

    I'm happy for you. My Aetna Insurance states they don't cover bariatric surgery. :-( Even though I have all of the horrible things to go with being over weight. Mexico is calling me name...what can I do?

  6. Aetna...What did you do to get approved?

    I have Aetna POS2 and they aren't covering my sleeve. I looked through my paperwork and it states right there NO on bariatric surgery. Even though I have a BMI of 38.9 Diabetic type 2 and High BP. Guess it's the way your plan is written with the company you work for. So Mexico here I come.
