As of friday the 32st, the have changed there clinic policy and are now covering the band...WHAHOOOO. Hopefully now my appeal will go through with flying colors.....................

I have Aetna and found on their web site the clinical policy benefits under Obesity Surgery that was reviewed 3/31/2006. I suggest you check out their web site. Aetna.com

Thanks for the infor. I had already checked this out and know that they cover for surgery if you have a BMI of 40 or more. My BMI is 38.5 and I do have back problems and a history of type two diabetes with my mother and her mother. The dr. also said I most likely have sleep apena. I have migrains and my neurologist sent documentation of prescribing a sleep enhancing drug as she said if I am tossing and turning I am not getting into a deep enough sleep which could result in my migrains. All of these files have been sent to Aetna along with the phen phen plan that I was on 8 years ago before they took it off the market.
