I also have Aetna. The person I sit across from at work started the paper process a couple of weeks after I did. He got approved in a couple of weeks and I am still waiting. I am into it about 8 weeks at this point. Hurry up and wait!!!

I have Aetna and I was told by several reps that Aetna has 30 days to approve or deny a person for surgery.

You could always call Aetna. I ended up having to do that and got my approval this way. They gave me a confirmation number to give to the doctor and this allowed me to get my date of surgery set.

I have Aetna also. My BMI is 36. I applied with the O-band center and they claim I am pre approved based on my co morbidity and previous band removal. I have an appointment next week with a surgeon. I'll report back once I meet them

Mine took about a month. So far the waiting has been the worst part of the process.

      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! 😞
