Submitted to Aetna

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?

I think I'm driving the people crazy I have called them every day since the paperwork was submitted it's been pending everyday yesterday I finally got a tracking number so I'm guessing they're actually looking at it now. When did you find out about your approval?

I found out about it today. I have to go through another hospital and another surgeon. They already submitted my chart to the new surgeon. My appt is on May 20 th. Hopefully there's no more testing because it's all done. If so they will have to approve things all over again!

Omg I think since you're approved and they sent your chart over you'll be good to go the only thing is I'm sure you have gotten used to the idea of one person performing the surgery and now you have to change gears

@dawnie_doo have you met with the new surgeon yet? I just finally got my approval this morning , they didn't give me any details so guess that means the surgeon /facility is ok I was nervous that since they are out of state I may have a issue.

I say call your doctor and check on the status. Better yet, call Aetna directly.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
