Why oh why didn't I decide to do this in jan? Ugh lol! So been going through the long process of jumping hoops and finally the patient advocate for my doctors office "says" the sent in my paper work to Aetna Friday Oct 26th. The wait to find out if I'm approved or denied is making me crazy.

To top it off, I can't contact Aetna directly. My company has it were you have to contact a company called accolade for all insurance questions. They can't even tell me whether or not aetna has even received the paperwork and if its in process to be approved/denied.

Anyone else go through this? I understand it can take up to 30days to get the verdict, but don't want that day to hit and they say they never received the paperwork.

Help, advice, venting. Anything would be appreciated lol! :)

Sweetyne01, try emailing aetna on their website requesting confirmation that they did in fact receive the paperwork from your doctor and that you are just verifying its under review so that you don't have to wait 30days to find out that they never received them.

That's what I did, 3 time lol. Before that was just asking if they got a fax from my dr and was told that faxes can take 3-4 days to go into the system. So frustrating lol

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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.
