Just curious to know who has Aetna and what was your experience like? How was the approval process... did it take long? Are they super strict??

Hello....I have Aetna. I was required to do 3 months of classes, a phyc. Evaluation, and a nutrition appointment. My nurse told me DO NOT GAIN and I will get approved. I finished my requirements and was approved within 10 days my surgery is Wednesday!!

Wow... speedy process.. i have Aetna as well but I’m being required to do a 6mnths [emoji19]

Ugh that sucks....but well worth it! I just cant believe that my surgery is tomorrow...it seems like yesterday that I started my journey. So blessed! I pray your time goes by fast!!

Super excited for you... good luck on your surgery. Keep me posted, let me know how it goes!

I had Aetna and i had to go through 6 months of weigh ins and it took about 3 weeks for approval.

I have aetna. I did the 6 months weigh in. I lost 14 pounds total during the process. I did gain 2 pounds my 3rd weigh in, but managed to get it off by the 4th weigh in. I was approved in 6 days after being submitted to insurance. Process really goes fast. Good luck to you. My surgery is on December 12th.

With Aetna, I️ chose the 3 month multi-disciplinary regimen with my surgeon and nutritionist. I️ just couldn’t have a net gain during that time. They allow 15 business days to respond for approval but my precert was started 10/20 and got approved 11/1....so that was 8 business days. My surgery date is 12/7. Best of wishes to you all!!!
