I know the feeling. I had my last nut appt on the 21st. I figured the center submitted my info that week. I received an email from the center that they did not submit until the 29th. WTH?? So now I have an additional week to find out the results. I'm going crazy!!!!

My center filed after the 3rd visit. I thought it would be the end of October before they filed. I did manage to lose about 5 pounds. I am currently waiting on a decision. - Val

Val - You will do great because you're a Val and you're from Texas!!! Good Luck. - Val

I am so happy for you. My info was submitted to Aetna today. I hope I hear good news really soon.

I'm on the 3 month program. I did lose 4 pounds the first month but I'm having problems staying focused and concerned it will be a problem. Do you think this will be a problem with Aetna?

I love wii fit and I want active as well. I have the wii fitness coach but I hear active is better.

On one of the other threads someone stated that the dr just made a note that the person was exercising on each visit. My center recommended scans from the gym or receipts of membership payments. (I am going to try for the documentation on each office visit.)

Erin - How are you doing? You had me worried for a while/

Did anyone lose weight while on the supervised diet? My weight keeps going up and down and I'm worried Aetna will deny me.

Thanks Waynes6 and Shart4 for the information.

How long did take to get approved?

The first time I went through the psych eval mine was the same way which is why I was surprised at this eval.

I am currently working on the 3 month multi program. What did you submit for the exercise requirement?

During my appointment with the nutritionist we discussed improving my eating habits and becoming more active. (All stuff I learned with WW.) She put me on a 1600 calorie diet and walk 20-30 minutes 2-3 times per week. 1600 sounds like a lot to me but I am trying to do it. I was placed on diet as part of insurance requirement. This may not be require for you. My psych eval involved a lot of test just to see if I am mentally prepared for surgery. She gave me three words to memorize and repeat. She asked me to repeat them a minute later. I also took a computer based test with a lot of questions. Let me know if you need more detailed information.

Our anniversary is 11/23/94. Sorry RM. I like it because my BDay is in Oct, then anniversary in Nov and Christmas in Dec. I wish I could move Valentine's Day to Jan. Seriously, I am glad someone started this topic. This issue has been in the back of my mind. I know I am just looking for something to worry about. Thanks.

Congratulations. I can't wait to be able to say the same thing. :laugh:

Good Luck Erin!

You will be 100% better on Saturday.

My DH, BFF and sister are the only family members I've told. I have told 3 people at work. One is trying to have the surgery as well, one had the surgery (good support) and the person who will have to cover for me at work. Everyone else at work I have just told them I intend to lose the extra person I have been dragging around on my back. That is all they need to know.

Congratulations!!!

I feel the same way. That is why I am pursuing LB.

The United Board of Mission is having a fashion show on the 30th that is featuring evening wear, etc.

My church has a clothing closet so hopefully (I am not banded yet.) I will be able to donate my clothes to them.

There are two other doctors in the center. Did you ask to see one of the others?
