So... from I've read in the forums over the past week or so, it seems that Aetna approves pretty quickly if you're going to be approved. The waiting game comes when you're going to be denied (or more likely to be denied). Is this a fair generalization? I know every case is different, but I sensed a bit of a pattern. Still waiting on my approval, it's only been 1 business day.

you ar future guessing you are going to drive yourself crazy. Call your doctor and see if they got everything in and have they heard anything. weaky wheel and all that.

Not true. Mine took 10 days and was approved.

10 days is pretty quick! I've been reading 3 and 4 week waiting periods that result in denial. Thanks for the feedback newme37 :-)

I have honestly been wondering the same thing. I go to my last doctor visit tomorrow and they said they can submit it to the insurance company on Tuesday, hope it doesn't take long for an approval from Aetna!!!

Mine was 1wk to the day of being submitted.

Mine was 7 days then denied due to diaticians tittle was missing sent back and 5 days had the approval!

I have Aetna, took about a week and half...

I have Aetna. I was approved in 3 days!

I got my call today. I was just approved! Surgery date 11/29!

The longest 2 weeks in my life! Lol

I have Aetna as well. Did you have to do the 6 month diet?

My approval took exactly one week.

Yes I did the 6 month diet. My last weigh in was 2 weeks ago, yesterday.

Great. Thank you. Just trying to get as much info as I can. And good luck

Thanks! I'm the same way. I've been reading threads for the last couple months, just trying to absorb as much as I can. It's the most responsible thing we can do, research!
