So, my insurance just changed to Aetna. They require Drs notes from 2 annual weigh ins. My PCP does not weigh her patients, so she is no help. Thankfully my GYN does. But this is such an abnormal request for them. They are having a hard time doing it. I need to call them monday and be sweet as pie. My date is 1/31 so I have about 10 days to get them to do it right. If not, I am going to have to have my PCP write something. The last minutes stresses....

And I have not told my mom yet, and I am waiting for it to be submitted...she is going to be pissed. Which sucks, because we will needs help with the kids while I am in the hospital. The joys of the final countdown!

Good luck with your final hurdles. It is worth it.

All you really need is the copies of the medical notes. They don't have to do anything special. I had to submit 5 years worth of weight and diet history.

I used my GYN as well as one from my regular doctor for Aetna. You should be fine!

Your pcp could do it like a regular doc appt just have him put in his doc notes and make sure it's separated from the other stuff talked about and the nurse at the office could weigh you Aetna is great I got approved in 24 hrs

Thanks so much for the replies! I am sure they will get it done for me, but it is the last hurdle. Well, that and telling my mom

Thnakfully my husband is great and is getting sleeved once I am fully healed and able to take care of the kids without any assistance/ We are guessing around May for him.
