Waiting on approval from Aetna

It's been 2 days and I'm so stress waiting on approval my BmI is 45.6 and has been over 40 that last 4 years. I gave all my previous weight history to Aetna.. Do you think I will get approved? I complete the 3 month deal. Does anyone have Aetna and know how long they take to approve VSG?

    Approved today!

  • Aetna took about a week to approve my revision. First they requested more of my history. Then they followed up with the surgeon about my hospital stay. I was stressing but it worked out ok. Good luck.

  • If you haven't net gained in the three month deal, they will approve you. I got approved in one day, but usually it takes from two weeks to one month.

I called Aetna today and they said I was denied because I didn't show prof of my 3 month weight lose program with Nut but I did and I called the surgeons office and they said don't worry and they will do a peer to peer. Do u know how long it will take for a peer to peer ?

The feeling of hearing the denial word is heartbreaking

Its not over. You will come through this with an approval.
thanks I know I will and it will happen I'm just sick of being 260 pounds and I'm only 5'2

I hear ya. I'm 5'4" and weighed 244. You're already beautiful inside and out. This is a temporary delay. In a few short months you'll be in a completely different happy space and looking even more fabulous!

So sorry you were denied. Sounds like something easily fixed by a phone call from your Dr .'s office. Did your Dr office give you any guidance about what you should do next?
