Surgery & recovery went great!!! I was surprised that there was minimal pain. Hang in there I know Aetna will approve you. Maybe try giving them a call to check the status!

I have Aetna and they approved me the first time my doctor office submitted it. They gave me no troubles. I was scared because I didn't lose weight during my 6 months. I have mild high blood pressure so I don't kno if they based it on that. My surgery is 11/8/12. Good luck

I just finished my six months (i only lost a couple of pounds) and my surgeons office submitted my paper work to Aetna Friday (11-2-12) so I am waiting to see if I'm approved. I am 5' 3" 210 pounds and am pre diabetic, my blood pressure is slightly high, and my cholesterol is high so I don't think there will be a problem but I am so stressed about it. Wish me luck :)

I think you will get approved for it, especially wit your health issues I honestly did lose any weight until after I was approved. It took bout a month to get it back. Call your insurance company and keep checking up wit them. I found out through them first before I found out wit my doctor office. Good luck and keep me posted

      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!!
