Approved with Aetna with low BMI

Took the dietician classes for 4 months, saw the shrink and got approved the first day insurance received my paperwork. BMI - 37 but have High Blood Pressure (take 2 pills not the req 3) and Metformin for pre-diabetes. Can't believe there was no trouble with my insurance! Yay

    Congrats! I also have Aetna, but my BMI was over 50, so I wasn't too worried. Worked my checklist of items, got approved in May, had surgery in June. Good luck to you!

Hope you're doing well! I'm super pumped to get this surgery knocked out!

I'm doing great! Down 45.5 lbs as of this morning (inc lbs lost on preop) & I managed to exercise for 60 total minutes today. Not 60 all together, but one day that will happen. :P
