Aetna still pending!!!



Recommended Posts

Am I wrong for being upset and worried? I am in the process of getting a revision from band to sleeve. I did 4 months of nutrition class. I have documentation from all previous doctors and even my former surgeon.

My info was submitted Feb. 8th. They have 15 days to make a decision. On the 16th I found out that one of the files did not open so Aetna asked that the file be refaxed. It was. I called today its the 24th still pending. I called 4 times and they said that they still have not received the fax. My dr office said that they did. I am pissed. Next Wednesday is the 15th day.

I have all of the requirements. BMI, co mortified hell I just got diagnosed with Pulmonary Artery Pressure and my Pulmonolgist recommends he surgery to get to a healthy weight so that I won't have severe complications. I am so upset. It should not take this long. My band was approved within days. My husband is getting the sleeve in 3 weeks his was approved in a couple of days.

Has anyone gone through something like this?

Hi O-Town. I was approved. I was getting worried. So basically, my docs were resent but were sitting there for 10 days before I was approved. But I am happy and waiting for my surgery date. Hopefully, your approval is much quicker than mine.

Yeah. I had the same issue. They approved me on my last day. They have 15 business days to approve. It was torture. I called every other day. Just keep checking with Aetna. Keep me updated.

I understand. Hopefully, you get approved sooner. Don't feel bad for calling frequently. I am waiting to get my surgery date. This is like agonizing. I have started this whole thing Sept 2016 so i am so ready.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
