Jumped Through My Hoops!

My final, 7th appointment with the nutritionist and exercise physiologist was this week! I have officially jumped through the last hoop set before me so far in order to get the insurance to pay for the VSG.

However...

I found out that Aetna is only the administrator of the policy, and that my insurance doesn't cover VSG without special review by a staff of physicians. Because of this, I fully expect to be turned down flat. The only surgeries they cover are the band and RNY. Since I won't have either of those, I'd like to get started on the appeal process now.

Any ideas and/or help would be appreciated!
