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!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
