Getting approved by Aetna



Recommended Posts

Im in the process oftrying ti get approved by Aetna, but im nervous im going to be denied. Ive been having an issue with getting 2 years of recorded weight history. Ive have 2 medical history from 2014 and didnt go the the dr in 2015. I did however had a pre employment physical for my job in 2015. On my work badge it has my weight and start date of 4-30-15 but an issue date of 1-23-16. I also have gerd, hiatus hernia, gastritis, & diabetes on both sides of my family including my father. My bmi is 45. I had to do 3 months weight lose training, an egd, amonst other things. really nervous and don't want to get turned down. Does anyone have any advice

I didn't need any history of weight problems for Aetna. All I need was the NUT visits, doctor letter, psych eval, and no net weight gain in the 3 months. Are you sure you need the weight history?

Yes ma'am. They are asking for medical recorded history for 2014 & 2015

I didnt go to the doctor much one year due to no insurance. as long as you have one recorded weight you will be ok. I was approved with Aetna in may. I was worried about the same, but if you were over weight 2014 and overweight now im sure they can figure out that you didn't get skinny in 2015.Have you looked at the clinical bulletin online? i followed that thing to the letter . had a copy printed out and saved on my phone . if I had any concern that I could not provide something I asked my surgical group. they know how to get approved and will work hard to get that money.

The raise in self-self assurance that we Nitro MXS witness in our sufferers makes this procedure extraordinarily profitable. a enormous number experience a lack of femininity and have an altered body picture much like our mastectomy patients before their reconstruction. the ones which might be significantly underdeveloped avoid bathing suits and as a substitute put on bulky t-shirts to difficult to understand their flat chests.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
