May 10th Sleever :) Aetna NJ



Recommended Posts

I have Aetna insurance and I had my first consult on 12/26/2016. I then had my psychiatric evaluation and consult with my GDI and finally completed my endoscopy.

Nutrition consults where from January to March and the office had me schedule one for April then a week later in March I got a call to come in for weigh in on 4/7/17 so they could submit my paperwork on 4/10/17.

Anxiously waiting I kept calling the office with no update and then today 4/19/17 I called Aetna and they said I was approved with service date 5/10/17 and then a few minutes later the office called with the great news :)

I go in to sign my paperwork tomorrow, Friday I have pre admission testing and then followup with my PCP next Thursday. In all, approval took 7 business days: psychiatric eval, egd, 3 monthly nutritional consults and post consult with surgeon.

We are only 3 weeks away! So exciting and nerve wrecking all at the same time. My timeline was a bit faster than yours as my first consult was on 3/10/17 so only 2 months for me. Let me know if you want to be sleeve buddies! :)

Congrats! I have my fingers crossed for a late May date. Hoping to know something by the end of next week!

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

      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! 😞
