Hello everyone,

Today was my last nutrition appt and this week, probably tomorrow, my information will be submitted to Aetna. I did all that I was supposed to do. Now I'm simply praying that all goes as planned.

My only jitters are about the surgery itself Advice? Input? Thoughts? Lol

OMG wow that was fast! Congrats! Now I'm nervous. I haven't heard anything yet. Just curious, how was your weight history from first nutrition appt to the last one?

My first weigh in was 265. Second 259, and last one 261 (vacation to Myrtle Beach and Nawlins). No net gain.

So, Aetna just decided to share that they have special IOQ facilities, and the hospital I'm going through isn't one of them, even though they're in network! Ugh! Smh I'm approved, just not through that hospital! Smh

Congratulations on the approval at this point I'd be grateful for that. So what's the next move is your surgeon covered just not the facility? If that's the case as your surgeon operate at any other facility?
