My surgeon's office should be sending in my paperwork to insurance today or Monday. I'm scheduled for revision on 5/16 as long as everything goes through with Aetna. They don't see any reason for denial, but that's the funny thing about insurance - you just never know! I'm concerned because I had my original surgery with BCBS FL and trying to get my revision from Aetna (same employer, provider just changed), but they aren't concerned. Oh well, I'm crossing everything that can be crossed!

I will keep you in my prayers!

Woohoo they moved my surgery date up to 5/9! Now just insurance, EGD and pre-op certification to go!

I've for my fingers crossed!

congrats on getting your surgery date moved up! For insurance comapnies, VSG is way cheaper in the long end. You are going to LOVE your sleeve. I am only 6.5 weeks post op and it has already changed my life dramatically

Good luck!! Go to my blog to see the pictures I posted today

Hey HeartGoesOn...I have Aetna and was approved for band to sleeve revision. I'm 4 weeks out from the sleeve.

How ling did it take to approve with aetna? I'm still waiting and getting really nervous that the surgeon will push me back to the end of the month if it takes too much longer!
