I am just looking for some information on the process through Aetna. Like how long they required the supervised diet and how long to get approved. I am 2 months into my journey and just looking for some uplifting hopefull news

Omg .... I submitted to Aetna on Thursday and was approved yesterday surgery set for the 22nd of April!!!! Ohhh lord thank you!!!

I can't remember Caligirl, did you say if you had any co morbidities? My insurance coordinator was not sure if they (aetna) would want to wait to get my 3rd full month diet report before making decision. Appointment scheduled for the 17th. Will still follow up with her tomorrow. Taking forever and I will be upset if she has received any info and not let me know. It was a week later then they told me when they filed my paperwork. Frustrating.

My BMI is 39 and I have sleep apnea... I went through 6 months of nutritional classes but some require only 3 months...

I'M APPROVED!!! HAPPY DANCE!! OMG.. so relieved. Thanks ladies for your words of support and encouragement. Will get a call tomorrow to schedule. Such a long brutal wait. AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH..... WOOOOHOOOOO!

Awesome! !!!!!! See positive thinking from all your new friends !!!!

Just found out after being denied twice that I'm finally approved. Thank God!!!! A

I have Aetna. I was just denied about 2 weeks ago because I lost weight about 2 years ago through diet and execercise. I have since gained every pound back and then some. My doc is doing a peer to peer review to see if she can get it overturned.

They ask for 2 years history......aetna is a mess... are thay going against there own requirement?????

My advise is be prepared for a denial' date=' so you aren't crushed. I think if you have proof for 2 years, that your BMI was 35+, you will be ok.....BUT you have to have documented proof. If not, that is a loophole they can use. Maybe it will just be a matter of waiting....I hope you get approved...It really shocked me, as I thought I had everything covered. I felt like all the efforts and DR visits over the last few years, were my detriment.

I will be hoping for you!!!! <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />[/quote']
