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.

candlz, what state are you in? I also have united healthcare but I still have a ways to go before I get a surgery date...

I am in texas, I have done so much research on Dr. Ganta and the procedure I feel ready about having it now. I looked into it about 10 yrs ago buf it was just bypass then and it was nt for me at the time.

Hello, I'm waiting for United HC to approve me. My paperwork was submitted last week. So hopefully I hear something soon!!

Too funny. I looked into surgery 10 yrs ago also. No way for the bypass and the band isn't for me. Almost did the sleeve 3 years ago out of pocket. But it was too risky if I had complications after. Only because that would have been out of pocket also and I was doing it for the wrong reasons. Now my ins covers it and I'm doing it for all the right reasons. I'm doing it for me!!

Well Ladies,

Thank you all for your fingers and toes that were crossed for me. My family sent prayers and well wishes as well. I called Aetna this morning and guess what?!?!?!?!?! I AM APPROVED for Surgery!

I submitted on 11/30 and was approved by 12/7 even though my file wasnt in hand until 12/6!.. 1 day turn around time. You cant beat that..

Good Luck to you all and I cant express in enough words how much your support means to me.
