Well I finally got approved by Aetna!

I had to do the 3 month comprehensive diet and exercise. Then the doctor's office didn't submit it for over a week, then Aetna needed the sleep study results (which I had done over 2 months ago). Finally found out today that I'm approved and surgery is scheduled for Aug 13th. I would have done it sooner, but I'll be heading to the mountains for 2 weeks at the end of July.

Now the nerves set in!!

Good luck to all.

Congrats! Aetna is a tough one and you made it, luckily my work changed from Aetna to BCBSMA after my Aetna denial You will be an inspiration to others. Happy Banding!

I had to get 5 year history of being morbid obese which was merely going back to my old docs had that done in a week and then I went to 3 mos of doc follow ups and then they put my paper work in monday and was approved by thursday. I just had diabetes.. and BMI 40.1 compared to my hubby he had healthnet and took him 3 years to approved and he had like 8 co morbities. HMO not the way to go for WLS
