Submitted to Aetna

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

So, it seems like I may have to do my nutritional visits over again. The new bariatric program is much more strict regarding their testing and requirements...which is a good thing. However, all of this pushes me back even more! Smh Oh the wait!!!!

Well dawnie updates on me. I had a surgery date for July 11th. Unfortunately that has been postponed. My doctor didn't have a complete 90 days of appointments of me being on the program. I need one more appointment for the month of June which thank God I was able to get a last minute appointment on June 30th. Then I have to do an end of program appointment with my doc to discuss my progress on the program and anything relating to surgery in general. Then they will submit the remaining info to Aetna on my open case and reach a decision then. Hopefully I can have approval and a surgery date by end of July or early August. Trying to stay prayed up and keep my faith.

Did anyone else come upon their surgery date? How'd it go?
