I'm so freaking frustrated with this process it's not even funny. My coordinator told me yesterday that she won't schedule me with the surgeon because we haven't heard back from Aetna yet. DESPITE the fact I've been approved with my secondary (UHC). I feel like it's nothing but a big money making scheme. Hold out to see how much money they can get, who cares about the patient?! I called Aetna twice yesterday and they said it's still pending and could take approx 1 week. UHC approved me in a day. This has been a 15 month process and I feel like it's never going to happen!!!! :(

DENIED again by Aetna. My BMI hasn't been 40 for two years, nor have I had my co morbidity (sleep apnea) for two years. Dropping them on my next open enrollment!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
