Congrats! I was approved in less then 24 hours as well. Grateful because I have a huge impatience problem and weeks of waiting would have drove me crazy. Hope you get your surgery date soon!

My Nut said it is the right time of the year for fast, and she was right. Put in my request for 1st week of March. Will hear for sure Monday or Tuesday what my date will be. I've been waiting since September, so I am ready.

Congrats! Aetna here too, my approval took a week, but still sooner than I thought. I started calling Aetna every two days to keep up with the status, making sure my file was moving. Best wishes to all in this year of the new US!

I have Aetna for TRS ( teacher retirement system) in Texas. They offered us 3 plans. One excluded bariatric surgery and the other 2 allowed it. You should look at the plan book for your insurance to see if it is specifically excluded. For what it's worth: At the end of the day, it would have been cheaper to go to Mexico, because I had a 6300 deductible and a 5000 copay. Almost as much as paying cash at my doctor ( I think he charges 12,700.00).

yea I am scared that even if insurance covers it, I won't be able to afford the co-pay...

      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.
