I switched to Aetna starting 9/1/20 since I was denied by IBX (after they said it would be covered). I got the call this morning that I am approved already! My surgeons office submitted the paperwork on Friday.

I did Optifast for the dietician appointments so I could get the 12 appointments in 3 months instead of 6 months.

My surgery date is October 14!

7 months later than expected but finally happening!

♥️ CONGRATULATIONS ♥️

Our insurance switched to Aetna on 9-1-20 as well. My paperwork was submitted today so I'm hoping to have as quick of an approval!

Congratulations & Best of Luck!!

Good Luck! The waiting is the worst! Fingers crossed for a quick approval!!!

?Took Aetna less than 2 weeks to approve my bypass! Appointment with Surgeon next Thursday. Hope I get a surgery date on that day!
