Congrats to all on there way to surgery!

Accually i didnt do much. I only told the doctor that i was excercising at least 3 days a week. I didnt see a trainer or anything like that. I was worried about that also but I didnt need to worry cause i was approved without it. Good luck to you.

Thank you susan. R u banded yet?

I was approved today!!! aetna took one week. so cool!! congrats to you>

Yes that's right! aenta ppo approved me today. My paperwork was submitted last tuesday and i was approved today (Tuesday). One week exactly!! very fast. I only did 3 months of a weightloss program and my BMI is over 40. I did have to provide 2 years or weight history also. Im sooooooo excited!!!! My surgery is Nov 11th. Finally! yay!!

So I was approved today!!! My paperwork was submitted last Tuesday and today I was approved. One week exactly. Very fast. I did only the 3 month weightloss program and my BMI is over 40. i was very suprised that I was approved to tell you the truth. i thought I would have to jump through more hoops to get approved but it was easier than I thought. My surgery is Nov 11th. whats your progress with everything?? update please!!

Gosh I hope its that fast for me as well!! thats amazing!:wub:

Thank you so much! If I have any questions I will let you know.
