Hi,

So I finished my 3 month pre op. The dr office called me today and said that most likely my insurance will not cover the surgery since I had gained 17pds.. I am devastated!! I explained to them that I had been taking Phentermine for over 3 years and as soon as I stopped taking it I have gained like crazy!!! I feel like I have changed my eating habits.. At times I feel like I was starving yet I still gained??? I am frustrated at this point. I was suppose to have surgery next Friday September 26. But the lady at the doctors office said she is most positive that my insurance will deny it. Has anyone had this problem where they gained weight while at pre-op and what did your insurance say?

I received the approval letter from Aetna in the mail today. It has an inpatient services date of Nov 5th on it. Is that the day my Dr. Office would have submitted for surgery?

So far all the Dr. Office has told me is that the coordinator would call me to schedule a date........and I haven't heard from anyone since last week.

Anyone else get an approval letter with an inpatient date on it? If so, is it the same as your surgery date?

Yes, the dates on my approval letters corresponded to the actual surgery dates.
