I have aetna for my primary and they debuted bc I don't have 2 years weight history. I'm having to use my secondary insurance for coverage.

You should try calling Aetna to see what they have to say about that. My bmi was well over 50 without co morbities for the past 2 yrs but they did diagnose me with mild sleep apnea. I went through a lapband clinic called True Results and they pretty much did all the leg work for me. But once I did my required 4 months supervised visits my paperwork was sent off and I was approved in a week and a half. Btw I have the same insurance you do.
