I called my doctor on Friday to let them know Aetna had changed the bulletin. They were ready to submit my paperwork Friday afternoon... Great timing right? Anyway... they submitted it Friday about 4:30 and had approval by Monday. WOO HOO... I am gonna be sleeved!!!

Surgery Date: June 8th (I am a teacher... wanted to wait til summer vacation):thumbup::thumbup:

Congrats on setting your surgery date and getting such a quick and painless approval!

That is fabulous news. I know you are looking forward to Summer Vacation even more this year. Not much longer!

Congrats! did you do the 3 or 6 month plan? I'm trying to figure out if the 3 mos is hard to get approved? I'm a revision but I have to do the diet thing ALL OVER again :party4:

I did the 3 months and had no problems. Good luck!!

what code are they using? I need to know!

I am also approved. Got my call aqt 5 til 5 yesterday. I'm so excited. Congratulations to all. Good luck and well for everyone having surgery.

They should use code 43775.

I was approved by Aetna a few weeks ago for RNY thinking about having my paperwork resubmitted for the sleeve which they added to their bullentin on 4/12.
