If you get approved, all you need to do is have the procedure prior to 12/31. No word yet huh?

I am in the same boat. Had my preop appt with my pcp today. Surgery schedule for 10/21 and I'm still waiting for Aetna to approve. Got one more week and I'm freaking out.

OMG I am approved.. it seems so surreal. It seems as if I have been waiting for this day forever. Spoke with Aetna and they said they called the surgeons office yesterday (sunday) why would they even attempt to call on a Sunday. I sent my drs office an email advising them.. Now I just need a date

Hi everyone

i'm also waiting for the approval . paperwork was submitted Oct 2.

i called Aetna yesterday they said they haven't received anything.

i immediately called the surgeon's office and the nurse told everything is alright, they received my paperwork and it's PENDING.

BMI : 40

age : 25

suffered from asthma many times and knees pain

My 2 yr history is the only concern because it's from my country.

i'm extremely anxious and can't focus on my studies :(

i hope i don't have to go through the appealing thing because my English is bad and i give up so easily :(

So, when people talk about calling aetna to check the status of their approval, who are thet talking to? Just the 800 number on the card and who ever answers the phone. I call that number today and they said they received everything and it's pending the medical review. It's all just so confusing. Is it ok to call them everyday? I WANT ANSWERS! Lol

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
