I had my first consultation with the doctor the middle of August, so that started my insurance company's four month supervised weight management program. During that time, I did all the required testing (endoscopy, psych, sleep apnea, etc.). Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App

I have Aetna and did the four month required doctor supervised weight management. Had my final visit on Tuesday, doctor submitted paperwork, and Aetna called and indicated my approval on Friday. I have 40 bmi and high blood pressure. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App

Congrats!! I would have loved one week of liquid, but will definitely look for ways to switch up and push through the two weeks. Let's keep each other on track as we embark on this journey. After reading some of the insurance nightmare stories, getting that call yesterday lifted a heavy weight. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App

Wow...Did not know that they performed endoscopy without sedation. I was sedated for mine and no issues after I woke up. It was also a pretty quick procedure. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App
