  1. Anyone? Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App
  2. Thank you for the replies. I called both my insurance and doctors office back. I must have misunderstood. The doctors office I was wanting to go through is the one that only accepts Aetna as a 2nd form or insurance. They will not accept Aetna alone. And she informed me that the closest place to me that accepts Aetna as the only form of insurance is about 2 hours away. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App
  3. I am looking into private insurance that does not require a 3 or 6 month diet before approval. Any suggestions? I will be kicked off my dad's insurance once I turn 26 later this month. Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App

  5. What insurance do you have? Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App
  6. I called Aetna and was told the gastric sleeve was approved 100% with a 6 month diet before. I just attended a seminar with the surgeon I am interested in and turned in some paperwork that the insurance verifier for the company to verify that it was covered before we proceed. She called me today and said that Aetna only covers it if they are my secondary insurance. Does this sound right? Aetna is my only insurance right now.
