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.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
