Is you deductible paid up on your Aetna? I am with Aetna, but through my husbands insurance with Erlanger here in Chattanooga. By having the deducible paid up helps you get to the front of the line I would think.

Hey, I can feel ya. I went to my appointment today to have my first consult with the bariatric surgeon, ands I too was denied. After all the research I have done and gone through the bariatric seminar bcuz I had to have the seminar b4 seeing the surgeon. But bcuz my BMI is not high enough or the fact that I am not a full blown diabetic, I got denied. He offered me t he ballon which is a temporar solution for 6 months, but after 6 months it has to be removed & there is a chance of me gaining my weight back. WTF! I don't wanna gain my weight back, I wanna lose it for sake . I have no willpower to lose it on my own bcuz if there is ice cream or Cookies around ( as my husbands Snacks on them) it will entice me to eat it as well when I want something sweet even if there is fruit around.

Down here in Clearwater,Florida enjoying my last hooorah until my surgery date? Caught a baby gator when fishing off the hotel dock, but the moment I think I saw that I was wearing Tennessee Orange.....it broke loose. LOLOLOL

Lizzie, do you mind if I ask you a question or two? Where is it that you are having yours done at, & what procedure & insurance?

That's what I am waiting on ( insurance clearance, eventhough I have met my deductible). As far as tbe prequesits.... I am in the clear for the 3-6 mo. before, 30 days before. Because I do not smoke, drink, do hormones or diet pills. So as far as things go I am at the 7 weeks before & I have nor met with my surgeon yet.

Oh heck NO!!!! THAT WILL STOP YOU UP

Alasyx, I was told in my bariatric seminar that you can use the products from Wal-Mart that are bariatric specific and it cost less than buying from them. Just make sure they are on you lust of choices of bariatric shakes, ect.

What was that other oil other that you added with peppermint oil?

I don't have a surgery date yet, but my first consult with my surgeon with be August 29th. As far as the Pre Requisites. I don't have anything to begin on my part until 7 weeks before surgery bcuz I am not on hormones, I do not smoke or drink,and I do not take any type of diet pills. All I have to worry about is having the set up meetings with the dietitian, pre op lab work & pre testing & my last visit with my surgeon b4 surgery outside of any pre surgery support group meetings. But with my insurance deductble met, I hope to have it by November if not end of September.

[emoji3] hey take it easy on yourself. You just went through major surgery. Don't beat yourself up. That is what the psychological ecal was for before the surgery. Hugs & Hope you get better at your energy to walk. Just take it in baby steps like we had to when first learning how to walk as babies
