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 changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
