Anyone already approved and has a July date? I am excited, nervous, and a world of other emotions! Anyone else in here with July dates already?

My brother and I (DC) stayed 2 nights and 3 days.

Hello all! Still no news. Reassessment was on June 23rd. The insurance coordinator did not submit paperwork until the 29th after hours so AETNA does not count it as day 1. I know it is only the 7th but the wait is painstakingly drawn-out. It is time to take care of business!!! 9 business days since surgeon approval and potentially 5 business days from the last day AETNA said they would take. I went ahead and made another dietitian appointment for the 19th in case... You know. I'm ready to jump up from the losers bench and become a starter. Let's get started!!!!! AETNA! AETNA! AETNA!

Crazy how everyone's wait time and program is different... I have Aetna and the time from my initial appointment with the surgeon to the surgery was only 45 days. The only thing I had to do was see the recommended specialists and get cleared.

Sorry you are going through so many loops,

I called again today and the insurance rep suggested I call my doctor's office since a nurse hadn't even been assigned to my case yet. So... I did. They are going to call on Monday and try to get it expedited. Hopefully, Monday will bring an answer.

Good Luck!

My surgeon isn't requiring me to do a pre-op diet either. I thought it was kind of weird since everyone i see has to do one.... the anxiety and nervousness is killing me though. July 28th can't come soon enough!

I'm going through a barix clinic and they are not requiring me to do any preop diet, other than the day before so my stomach is empty, not sure why that is. But I'm so anxious to get started!
Btw, my name is Brenda and I live in MI. We have the same big day awaiting us
