Okay so I got the news I have been stressing, agonizing, and desperately waiting for this afternoon. My surgery has been approved! I am so happy. I had begun to doubt the process. Rationalizing that it would be okay if I was denied. Thinking of other options. Maybe I would self pay and finance my surgery. I have been praying that God would let the best thing for me happen in regards to this surgery, but knowing that I wanted to have it done and hoping that He would agree. I'm nervous but ready to go. These next twelve days will take forever......

Surgery on 4/13.. Anyone else scheduled for that day?

Congrats on the date ... April 13th will be here before you know it!

CONGRATS!!!!!!

Congrats! I am so happy for you.

Hey, Lisa. Another Lisa here. I also have Aetna Open Choice II PPO. How long did it take from the time your doc submitted your paperwork to the day you heard that you were approved. My stuff will be submitted this week, and they said Aetna says up to 30 days. Did it really take that long?

One of the questions in my psych eval was "What will you do if you are denied WLS?" I said, "Oh I will keep on dieting, but do it like I had WLS anyway." I really wanted to say, "I will cry like a baby, stomp my feet, curse out the insurance people and act like a spoiled rotten brat until someone approved me!" LOL

I have aetna open access. How long did the entire process take you. Seminar, consultation, nutritionist, psycologist and what ever else they require. I just want to be well informed and prepared
