I brought my medical records from over the past 23 months to my surgeon's office yesterday and the bariatric coordinator said she'd send out the request for approval...They have "up to 30 days" to make a decision but usually don't take longer than 2 weeks or so. I'm super excited! Super nervous at the same time..Ahhhhh! Must..fight..urge....to...call...Aetna...everyday...

My fingers are crossed for you! I'm not gonna lie, I would probably be one to call them every day and ask =p

Lol! I may or may not call them today like the crazy person I am...

Ask for your coordinator to cc you on the email, or provide a copy of fax confirmation...and yes, call Aetna to confirm they recieved it - if they did not get a fax # or email for your coordinator to re-send immediately.

and yay!
