I started this process 2 years ago but stopped because I didn't care for the Dr. that I chose. I started again in November with Dr. Hanna in Las Vegas and I am so happy! At the end of the month I am done with my 3 months supervised diet (was able to use the months from the previous try for a total of 6) so the Dr office sent off my redetermination on monday to Aetna and I got approved this morning!!! Woo Hoo!!! My surgery is scheduled for April 18th..I am sooo excited :-)

Aetna was the best for me too. No issues with pre approval very straight forward. I love that they have bariatric case workers that help you along the way as well. I have been sleeved a month and love it already. Good luck on your journey.

Once your surgery date is set you get a case worker. I speak to mine weekly.

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

      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! 😞
