Yes. Have the 5 years / BMI of 54 / 3 slip disk in the neck and sleep app

They just wouldn't do it until i'm done with the 6/mo program. Then i should be go to go.

Aetna faxed me the criteria that they want met, and I began the program just recently. However, I am not feeling very positive about it. They say they want the 3 month program, but it sounds like they make you do more, in reality. Then the health history part is going to be hard for me. I don't know if I can provide 5 consecutive years. I had some MAJOR issues with a couple of my kids for about 3 years, and my whole focus, my money, my time, my everything was on solving their problems and not on me. Sounds like that will sink my chances. :think

Also, my BMI is 41.6, I have diabetes. Aetna says I have to do a 3 month program along with a nutritionist and exercise. I have been doing a diet and exercise with my primary dr. for over a year, and will add the 3 month program with AIGB to that. And they require a health history. I think I have found medical history for 2000-2003 then 2005-2007. I have a one year gap. But that is all my criteria info. talks about. My primary says he will write a letter in total support of this for me. A sleep study wasn't included as part of my criteria, should I get one done anyway?

Does anyone know if you have to get a personal trainer for Aetna to approve the surgery? How do they supervise the workout unless you have a trainger?

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
