Just went to my first appointment with my surgeon. I was expecting to have to do a three month supervised program...but was told I only need 1 visit with the Nut and the psych eval and they can submit for approval. So, it appears what I figured would take until February might just be a few weeks away. Anyone have experience with Aetna Medicare?

So, it was true...everything was submitted: one NUT appointment and the Psych and two years' weight history....and Aetna Medicare Advantage gave approval in six days! Now just waiting for the scheduler to call. Never could have imagined how quickly this would go.
