I had 1 surgeon visit, 3 nutrition, 5 General practitioner, 1 psych. I started seeing my GP in Feb so that it was over the amount required just in case.

July 28th is my surgery date. Trying to prepare for post op. Nervous but ready!

1. General practitioner weight loss appointment 1 x every month for 5 months. Never gained but showed a loss. Dr had me on phentermine for 3 of the months so I wouldn't gain during this time period. Btw this was a new Dr that I had just obtained last October so no two year weight history was necessary. 2. Nutritionist 1 x every month for 3 months. 3. Psych doc approval. Already had been seeing him for 1 1/2 yr. So only 1 visit was necessary. 4. 1 overnight sleep test to establish sleep apnea. + Established knee problems + Meds for bi-polar cause weight gain. Make me extra hungry! I was approved in 4 days after paper work submitted. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Only took 4 days. My patient coordinator turned everything in and dealt with Aetna.

Yeah....my doc rocks! ????

Congrats! I'm also having surgery this month on the 28th. Excited but nervous. Good luck!????

Sorry to hear there's been a snag in your approval. Sounds like you will be approved after they get your doctor's letter though. So that's good. Hang in there, soon you'll be on your way to your new improved self!????

Mine is July 28 th. Excited and nervous. ????

I'm in Durango, Co. Surgery next month in Denver by Dr Snyder at Rose Medical Center.

Thanks!

CONGRAT'S! It's a great feeling isn't it? My surgery is in July. Can't wait to get it over with so I can start losing.

Congrats!!! I also just got approval and my surgery date is July 28.

Only 4 days for me.

I also have a high deductible. $6,000 which has almost been met. My surgery is next month.

I have Aetna and it took only 4 days for approval. Surgery next month!
