My surgeons office turned in my paperwork on 7/23/19. How long did everyone have to wait for approval?

I'm also with Aetna, they took about 8 working days.

You should hear soon. 🤞🏾🤞🏾

After about 10-14 days they asked for more documentation that the Bariatric program sent in for me. I got approval within a couple of weeks. So definitely no longer than a month with Aetna

Once everything was done and submitted to insurance it took about 7-10 days.

I feel like this has been a long hard journey already. I’ve went through 3 different insurance to finally get approved lol. Our work offers two and my husbands work offers 1. I finally got the right one lol!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
