So every time my file has been submitted to insurance they always come back within 24 hrs and request more tests. This time it's been almost two weeks and haven't heard anything other than when I called and they say it's going through a medical review. What do you all think " no news is good news"? I'm getting very anxious because my surgery is scheduled for nov 18th and no approval yet. I have to be the most impatient person on the world :/

Well, Aetna Denied me. they said it's because of the 39 BMI. (this was taken 3 months ago )

i'm trying to appeal now. my current BMI is 41 and i got a letter that shows that i have asthma.

also i'm doing a sleep apnea study. i'm really mad at my ins coordinator.. she didn't mention the sleep apnea thing.

does anyone know if it's possible to change the BMI to my current one so i can win the appeal and get an approval ? :(

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
