My paperwork was officially submitted to Aetna yesterday, so while I am twiddling my thumbs waiting to hear something (an approval, HOPE-HOPE-HOPE!), please share your Aetna experience!

1. How long did it take for you to get an answer once your paperwork was submitted?
   
2. Has anyone with a high BMI and co-morbidities been denied? If so, why?
   
3. Do your ears hang low, do they wobble to and fro? <g>
   

I haven't called yet on mine. I'm glad to hear about the 10 days...thats a lot shorter than my surg office said to expect! Whew!

I guess its good to follow ups.Our urgency is not their priority. Keeping them on their toes is best

Today is "D" day for me. I am officially at the end of my 3 month pre op. Originally started out with hopes for the lap band but changed my mind in recent weeks! Have all my paperwork ready to go. Hopefully a speedy approval! Fingers crossed ladies and gents. Im nervous..

Last weigh in for me will be Dec 6 then submit. Getting scared strted with BMI of exactly 40 so we will see how it goes as I have lost 18 pounds as of now.

Have last weigh in on Monday yes rt after thanksgiving and I see my surgeon on dec 6 i so excited to be almost done w supervised diet

I got the Aetna approval letter and it says one day in the hospital? Did anyone else get this? I'm supposed to be there 2 nights.

I haven't gotten an answer yet myself, but I know with hospitals in general, if a longer stay is needed, & the dr submits it, they won't deny it.
