Ikr im like dang lol but im so happy!! Cant wait until that date! Have you heard anything yet.

Ok so now i have good news. My surgeons office got their act together and submitted my paperwork on 11/30. I called Aetna to confirm and they infact have the paperwork. The Nurse even told me that I was next in line to be reviewed. Soooooo... Fingers crossed everyone! Hopefully i will hear something by the end of the week. Honestly, if it takes another 2 weks im fine with it. I am just glad it made it to its destination.

You've made it this far, this is the nail bitting stage but Aetna is fast and efficient you should here something soon. good luck:)

Has your surgeon done a peer to peer with your insurance. I got denied with aetna at first because of weight for 2011 I had 09 2010 and 2012 but tlc surgery the place thats doing my surgery called and got me approved.

Sent pics of you? No no that wont do for the insurance they want your dr to call there medical director and advocate for you. They want to hear why u need the surgery and what will happen if u dont have it. However if u wait until 1/1/2013 the weight history will not require history for 09 it will only require u to have 2010, 11, 12 giving u 3 years!!

I talked to the insurance rep not my doctor so I dont know what they plan next I will find out tomorrow I do hope they call or something...
