I am currently going through the 3-mo. requirements (doctor and dietician) for AETNA. I also have five years (even longer) documented obesity weights. However, I don't have a lot "wrong" with me--I've been on high cholesterol meds for the last ten years and Nexium for probably the last 5 for GERD. Has anyone out there been accepted for surgergy by AETNA with a POS II. I have also been on thyroids meds for over ten years. I'm afraid to get my hopes up about the surgery b/c I'm afraid they will reject me. Also, what does surgergy cost when out of pocket? I live in West Houston and working with Dr. Ferrari. Has anyone out there had a similar situation or have been approved by AETNA?:smile:
