I called Aetna again today and was told that its in the final stage of review and a decision should be made this week. Thursday will be 2 weeks since they have received everything. The waiting is killing me

I am so sorry. That is just stressful. Have you tried calling them?

I'm pretty sure all my paperwork will be re-submitted tomorrow. The ladies at the bariatric center have been amazing. However I have been going throughnthis process since June. I known that is not as long as some on you, but my bariatric center said this is one of the longest processes they have delt with. I have prayed and put it in their hand and trust they know what to do and they have my best interest at heart.my sleep study results came in today but they won't share them with me until I go into the sleep center for a review. But they did fax them to bariatrics. Please pray for my speedy approval, I'm so nervous. Thanks everyone.

You are in my prayers. I understand. I have been doing this since May. It is very stressful. I was approved a few days ago, but still do not have my date. grrrr. I still think this is the most emotionally stressful period of the process, the not knowing.

Did anyone have to submit a 2 year weight history?

Absolutely. It is one of the requirements that you have 2 year history. I turned in 3 years.

One think I did was call and ask a lot of questions prior to getting too involved. I asked to talked to someone that works with Bariatric patients and got an awesome person. I got her name/phone number and she called her every month.

The last time I went to the doctor was in 2010, and I am done with everthing (6 mo) and ready to submit. My doctors office didn't let me know this when I started the process.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
