Tired Of Waiting For Aetna



Recommended Posts

Insurance: Aetna Pos II

My BMI for the past 5 years has been over 40

I have completed the doc visits, upper gi, nut visits (all 4), psy visit.

My doc office submitted my paperwork for 2 wks and they finally received it last week.

I just wish they approve me so I can hopefully get this done by the end of the year

Wow! You may have to wait longer. Than two weeks. It takes 30 days some ppl get approved before then but if they request more info from the dr or NUT then the 30 days starts all over again every time they request more info. My paperwork has been submitted on 10/27 I still have no decision!!!

Is that when you received your official letter or was told over the phone

The surgeons office called and told me and set up my pre op visit for tomorrow and surgery for the 5th.

Do you have to do the pre-op liquid diet! I just found out I got approved for the surgery on the 19th. That's what I'm dreading! Straight liquids for 2 weeks!!! Ugh!

Congrats! Hopefully I will have great news too. The doc ask for everyone to do a pre-op diet but I will have to talk to him depending on the time frame I have

Oh ok! My pre op liquid diet is 2 weeks. They want the liver nice and flexible so there won't be any damage to it during surgery!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
