Impatiently waiting for Aetna

Does anyone out there have Aetna? I have a BMI of 39.4, but still waiting to see if I have sleep apnea. I've completed all other requirements for surgery. Does anyone else have Aetna? Were you able to get approved? So frustrated and ready to go! Treatment shouldn't be dictated by my insurance, it should be dictated by a doctor! Grrrr!

Congratulations! My paperwork was submitted on September 25th and I'm still waiting. Was told today it would take 3 weeks to get my sleep test results, but I'm still pushing through. There has GOT to be a light at the end of this tunnel! Enjoy starting the next chapter! So excited for you!

Hopefully your results come in quicker than 3 weeks and it turns out the way you want it to. It just sucks that they are keeping you limbo just for that. I will continue to pray for a quick outcome!! and Thank you!
