My doctors office was waiting on my primary doctor to fax them the needed information so I politely called my PCP and spoke with the receptionist and she said she would fax it over now. My job schedule requires a 6 week advance notice. I already put in for feb 1 thru 10th on good faith. Prayerfully next week I will hear something so that I can at least have it before I have to wait until the next schedule is put out.... I understand that the office staff have a load of cases to do but at the same time I do not want my caseworker to stop the ball from rolling. Patience is truly a virtue. I am staying prayed up that God allows the insurance to give a speedy O.K. for this life saving procedure.. I have

My doctor office submitted late on a Tuesday afternoon. I called Aetna on Wednesday morning and confirmed they had the paperwork and they were fowarding to medical review. My doctor's office called that afternoon at 2 pm and I was approved. Granted not all Aetna offices work the same but hopefully it will go quickly for you.

I called aetna wednesday and they told me to call back friday . I called back Friday and they said that they needed more information from my doctor's office. It has been so long for me and this weight battle. I just pray that the insurance company understands and has some empathy... I know that they say out of every bad there is something good.. I am glad that they didn't just say no instead they requested more information. I am praying and having good faith. I am going to call my case worker tomorrow and see what she says..

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
