Add my name to the APPROVED list :)



Recommended Posts

I was getting worried since my surgery is in a week and a half (Nov 19) and my doc's office had just sent in my paperwork to Aetna last week...

I got the call this afternoon that I have been approved :confused: I seriously thought I was going to have to fight and appeal and fight some more and not have surgery until next year.

I told the nurse that I'm a little offended :P that they approved me so fast - since it technically means that I'm SO fat that they had no excuse or "loophole" that would allow them to reject me :)

I'm excited and nervous about the surgery :)

:clap2:Well let me be the first to say congratulations!:clap2: I have to ask how did you get them to approve. I have Aetna as well. I have a weight history from 02,03,05,06,07, and will have one for 08. But I am missing 04. Do you think this will be a problem with them? Did you have five years in a row showing you were over weight? I can go back further but I don't have five full years in a row like that. Please let me know. I to need this surgery bad and don't want to have to wait until 09!

      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! 😞
