Well my docs office told me all my documents look good and ready to submit to Aetna. They gave me January 30th as my surgery date. I will have to sign all consents forms on January 15th. They will be submitting all paperwork on Jan9th because is my last req. visit. I am so excited everything ran smoothly. My office nurse said it won't take more than 8days to get confirmation. Do now I am ready. Ready to start a new life!!!

No I was a bad girl and didn't lose any weight. I did however maintain my current weight. So helpfully they don't deny due to no weight loss.

I didn't lose any either. Pretty much stayed the same. Today was my 6 mo visit. Hopefully it'll be submitted to insurance soon and hopefully they'll approve quickly! Good luck!

Good luck!!! I'm having my endoscopy tomorrow and after that they will submit to insurance. I'm so excited as I'm sure you are!! Where are you from? I'm from California.

Yes, I'm very excited! I'm from Dallas, Texas.

Who is doing your surgery? I'm from Dallas too.

Dr. Kuhn is my surgeon. I will have my surgery at Baylor. Who is your surgeon? Nice to meet ya!

Aetna took 10 days business days to apporve me - it felt like a lifetime, especially because of the Thanksgiving holiday and the office being closed

Me too!! Dr. Kuhn at Baylor on jan7th

Rinrocks1: Wow! Thats awesome! I'm actually waiting on insurance approval. Kelly submitted it yesterday. I hope it's quick! Good luck on your surgery Monday! So exciting! Are you on Facebook?

@enuff' date=' thank you!!! I hope so. All I know is that I need to put my act together. And start losing some weight on my own. So Aetna can see I could do it....I may start the liquid diet, after the holidays though...lol :-x Have you thought of doing your own videos on youtube to inspire our people before and after surgery? I though of it, but let's see what happens. Keep us updated with your surgery date. [/quote']
