New here... Aetna... worried :(

Introducing myself...

I'm 36 yrs old... current weight is 255. I'm worried because I'm 5'10" and my BMI has only ever hit 40 when I was pregnant. I suspect I have sleep apnea and will be getting a sleep study done soon. How bad is it that I want to be diagnosed with that so I can qualify?! This is such an emotional roller coaster. I don't know what I'm asking... I guess just some support from those who have been through Aetna.

How do I post a new thread on here? I'm using the iPhone app?

Go to the forum option, select the category you want your post to be listed under, then hit the arrow in the right top corner and it will say start a thread or new thread. :)

I also have a BMI of 37, do you have any comorbidities? I have elevated BP, but never been treated for it...I was hoping to lose the weight. Now I am having a sleep study to try the sleep apnea diagnoses.

Wife and I both have had no problems with Aetna. My wife is about your build.

Thanks for all the responses!! I have an appointment with the pulmonologist on Thursday so hopefully I will know more about the possible sleep apnea. Fingers crossed, lol!
