I just spoke with the surgeons office and she said my plan Aetna ppo said no weight gain at all. Take laxatives and starve yourself now!!!

I was denied by aetna due to weight gain.

@@Qujazmaine October 15th is in 3 days. Do you mean November 15th? Aetna is known to be one of the more strict plans and I don't believe they'll approve you if you gained 12 lbs. I highly recommend going on a bariatric approved Protein shake and non-caloric liquid diet immediately. Drink tons of Water and avoid sodium. Gaining a few lbs can be explained by water retention, your period, constipation, etc. - but I don't think you'll be able to explain 12 lbs. Good luck.

If it's Nov. 15th I would go on a liquid diet about 2 weeks before depending on how much weight you need to lose.

Oh ok you can definitely do it. I was thinking 3 days no way! But its how bad you want it too. I wouldn't want to come this far and be denied because of that.
