Hi! I have one more nut visit on Monday and then I am all set for insurance approval. I am now starting to overthink everything and am worried about not getting approved. I have a 56 BMI, diabetes, sleep apnea, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. So, on paper I am a great candidate. I just keep thinking insurance will find one reason to say no. I have Aetna and have done the 3 month path. I am sure I'm just worrying for nothing. Anyone else have Aetna and if so, how hard or easy was approval? Thanks in advance!

So why are you choosing to project such negative results? Remember, that which we focus on........ Best.

all set for insurance approval.

fortunately, it sounds like you have plenty of problems/issue to be approved for surgery

if your insurance covers all WLS, sounds like you'll be fine

wishing you a new healthier, happier, longer life

good luck

I have Aetna and was got my approval about 2 weeks after they submitted. Mind you I had to do a 6 month doctor monitored weight loss program, which I started in February. And then in May I received a letter saying that the hospital my surgery would be at was longer under contract with Aetna. Boy was I bummed, actually more bummed than I thought I would be. But then at the end of July they reinstated the contract with the hospital. So I called the doctor back and started back up from where I had left off. I just had to do the psych eval and then the submitted. I really thought I would be denied at first, and was so surprised when they called me this past Monday to tell me I was approved. My surgery is scheduled for November 3, 2014. I am gonna to tell you what my husband keeps telling me.....if you think negative thoughts negative things will happen. I am a big "what if...." person. It's hard but I am trying to be more positive. Hang in there worrying over things you can't control will drive you nuts!! Good Luck!!!
