Sending positive thoughts your way. I am finally at the end of my six month supervised time for Aetna. My thyroid was one point to high and I've had to take thyroid meds for the last month before we can submit because dr.'s office said insurance will turn it down unless thyroid is in normal levels. Getting checked in the morning hope levels are good :)

Me too! My paperwork was submitted to Aetna on the same day, October 16th. I called Aetna today and I am still in review. They said they have a 14 day window to approve or disapprove. (They better hurry up, I am supposed to be scheduled for October 31st, I hope it doesn't get delayed!

Yeah they said mine was still in review also!!!! I really hope it doesn't take the full 14 days!!! The surgeons office put that my surgery date was 10/24/12....I guess that is just an estimated date.

Well once they submit it takes 48 hours just to make a file, at least that's what happened to me. I'm hoping it doesn't take the full time frame because a lot of people on the forum said there's was approved quickly.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
