Surgeons office just submitted my paperwork to the insurance company!!! So scared of being denied, but I'm trying to stay positive on a quick approval.

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' date=' 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 [/quote']

Good luck, hang in there and stay positive, you will get the approval you have been waiting for!!

Congratulations on your surgery date!!!

Thank you

I am so glad your surgery went well. How is post op for you?

Thank you. They told me 15 days and one woman was like call in everyday. So I am calling every few days, but the woman was very rude today and told me they don't have to tell me. I am going to keep trying. I would like to get surgery before Thanksgiving due to family functions in December. How long did you take off of work? I am thinking two weeks?

Becky,

Good luck! Keep us in the loop! I am sure you will be fine!

Welcome back mzyunique, From what I see all went well!

Steelerfan- Hold in there. your answer will come. Try to occupy yourself with other hobbies, or like me, do some school work that I have been slacking on lol . At least you have completed the "jumping through hopps" phase.

I think I tend to worry because I just want to make sure I completed all of the requirements. I am on the 3 month process and appartanly am the first that my surgeons office has dealt with.

I tell you! Good luck and keep us posted.

I got approved.... Just waiting for my call from the surgeon to schedule surgery.... I hope it is not more than two weeks out

Cool. Well hopefully its sooner than later! Have a great day

Congratulations!!!! :-)

Still waiting. The paper work was actually sent to Aetna on the 1st of November. I called today and was told it is in review and it usually takes a week to 14 days. I was fine all through the six month supervised diet and now I'm so stressing. I hope I hear soon!

Becky,

I would check on Friday which would be nine days! I don't think it is going to be problem. I was worried the whole time but you will def be approved. The disheartening news for me was my surgeon is back up until February. This information has me a little down.

Thanks I'll call back Friday. I would be so upset if I got approved and had to wait till February.

Have you heard anything back from Aetna? I am getting fustrated... they first told me November for Surgery. Then it was early January now it is Feburary it is fustrating

I have not heard from Aetna yet I'm going to call in a little while to check the status.

Hang in there you two!!!!! I hope your approvals and surgery dates come sooner! Fingers crossed
