Any aetna better health patients?



Recommended Posts

A little nervous after signing my surgical consents today... Not because of the disclosures, but because the nurse navigator basically told me... The insurance may not approve because I had a gain. I was 303 at the start and am now 311... They are sending off for approval.... :-/ wondering if anyone with Aetna better health or medical assistance can ease my mind any... Surgery should be two weeks from tomorrow.

I would call the insurance company myself and ask them. Have you been exercising? Could that have caused the gain? Also will the Dr. weigh you again before they go to the insurance company to get the go ahead?

I have Aetna Be Well Premier so I don't know if that is the same thing. Can I ask you how much coverage you have with them? Mine pays 50% up to 10K. I'm trying to find someone with the same coverage so I will know how much my out of pocket will be.

That is my last weight, they are sending off for the go ahead... Let's see what happens. They are said to cover 100%. I'm not sure what the cost is... Shouldn't a doctor be able to let ya know?

I have Aetna and I called them 3 times and asked them about the 6 month supervised weigh ins and she each rep stated the same thing that my surgeon stated. They all stated that your first weigh in cannot be more than your starting weigh in. I wish I could ease your mind but with Aetna, yopu CANNOT gain weight at all. Not sure if it varies by states but I am in Virginia. My starting weight was on March 29th. My last weigh in will be August 29th. On March 29th I weighed 406lbs. So in August, I cannot weigh more than 406lbs.

What if in June you weight 410 but by August you are back down to 406? That's what I'm struggling to understand!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
