i was just approved iam so excited my surgery is the 27th i have aetna pos ins myself and i finished a 90day supervised diet with my family doc and turned in my paper work on friday the 3ed oct just 10 days ago...i kept a running of my meals and such and seen the doc once a mo. and they approved me and right now i have met my deductable so the doc office is saying they may pay 100% or close to it now ...i can't wait i start my 10 day diet this friday and my last seminar nx tue..i have the rest done except the tests from the hos before surg time..so aetna has been good for me i can say that much .good luck to you :smile2:

Half my problem is i have back issues and when they act up i can't do anything but take pain meds and work thats about it and the last mo . Thats been the case so much of anything is hard to do with the pain,and i had surgery on both knee's last winter so i know i need this weight off to survive it all. Not to mention my acid reflux .hopefully the ins co will agree and i can have it done. And i do need to chat with my doc more about all this ..thanks for your reply :biggrin: have a great wk

i have a quick question .my 90 day diet with my family doc will end fri oct 3 and i have only lost 2 lbs gain it back lose 2 up and down what will the ins co or lapband doc think when they see 2 lbs up and down in a 3 mos diet required by inc co.????? please let me know iam worried what there gonna think.i have everything els done for the doc but to finish this 90 day plan .thanks for any answers

i was asked lots of crazy questions and then took the 165 question test which was retarded to begin with like one says i was on the cover of time mag the last three mos ...hello this crap is stupied and yes i was asked about sex and everything els ..i think we are ok there are totally nutts its the dumbest thing i ever had to do period.....this a waste of 500.00 and my time ....

thank's your right i need to work harder on this and show them i will be able to lose before i have surgery ..thanks again have a great day :thumbup:

nice to be in the 50's ,i have a question i see the doc this morning and iam thinking he's gonna chew me out ...iam doing the 90 day diet if you will ....... and i/ve lost 2lbs only...i have one more mo,to go and will have finished my 90 day ins plan supervised diet.question is how many of you lost and how much for the ins,co. or is it a great deal that i do lose .iam confused .thanks for any reply have a great day :thumbup:

aetna ins & 90 day supervised diet ((( please -help me )) iam confused i am doing the 3 mo supervised diet with my family doc and he's telling me to walk 30 aday and eat better and there saying to write down everything i eat and do for the 90 days so my question is am i to really lose weight on this ???? or just do my appt.s and write everything down from exercise to eating ????? anyone know the answer iam in ohio thanks in advance ... love this site:)

well i wished i had already had my 90 supervised diet with my family doc done but i didnt and thats what iam doing now ,i see him once a mo for three mos to weigh me and give me some mores to do like walk a hr a day cut back on carbs ect..but they will have you do a 90 day supervised ,and also go go go to the seminars and the group meetings and make sure you sign in at all meetings so its on recorded you attended.thats the main things you can do now that will be done in the future for u and i didnt know or i would have had it all together as well..good luck girl
