I finished all my pre op stuff last Thurs. My surgeon's office should be sending in anytime. Now I need to learn patience.

I already called insurance to see if it was submitted. Lol. Nope not yet

My Paperwork was submitted to Aetna today.

Did anyone do anything special to get the approval so fast? I mean come on, they have had it for 2 hours.

The reviewers have 2 weeks to complete the process. Depending on the work load, it could take that long although most are done much quicker. There are a lot of services other than bariatric surgery that require review & anything life-threatening or urgently needed will take precedence over elective procedures. I know, I worked as a nurse reviewer for over 7 years.

My coordinator was on the phone for over an hour with the insurance company getting approval. I have a Cadillac policy being I am a state employee. No special privileges here just had the BMI requirement and the co morbidities that went along with it.

      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!!
