Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

I have Aetna PPO and I was wondering what I’d have to pay out of pocket. We have a 15% coinsurance.

Any luck getting approved?

My Aetna plan required me to choose from a very small list of facilities that they designated as centers for excellence. Maybe they rejected the provider if your plan does not exclude bariatric surgery.

I’m on Aetna PPO and got denied this week even though I meet all of the requirements for surgery. They said that bariatric surgery is not covered under this plan 😞

That is so frustrating! You went through all of the steps and didn't get to have it? I'm one month in to my pre-surgery program and I also have aetna PPO. I just looked and AETNA PPO says surgery is covered. you should push back!

If I may can I ask you if this insurance is through your employer or or spouses & is it Aetna Erlanger? Reason for asking is my husband works for Erlanger here in Chattanooga,TN. and my deductible has been met for 2019.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
