Hi everyone im new to lapbandtalk.com my name is Angel. Ok so i just finished my six month diet, and all of Aetna requirement but their only one problem they want a two year weight history i didnt have insurance in 2007 so i didnt go to the doctor i have no record of my weight that year. well i know it was above 40 bmi but i dont have proof. But i do have 2005,06,08, and 09 records all over 40bmi do you think they will approve me or will this be a problem please help, im stressing out here.:grouphug:

i don't have Aetna but do you have a dated pictures for 2007? You can include those with a letter stating your weight. Did you get physical for work? That may help also.

I heard about the picture thing and i asked my doctor he said they fax the paperwork over and they never sent a picture so that the reason i didnt submit the picture.:ohmy:I wish i would have push it more.

I think you'll be fine cuz the dates go beyond 2 years. Don't stress. Aetna has been known to come back fast with their answer to you'll know very soon.

Thanks i cant wait my blood pressure is raising waiting.:grouphug:

I think you'll be OK - I got approved by Aetna HMO in March. I have been over 40 BMI for at least eight years, but changed Dr.s in 2008- my surgeons office told me to get my old Dr.'s records for more weight history and I was working on it and they turned everything in before I got it to them!!! I thought I would be rejected for sure with only a year of height history - but it came back approved in two days!! I think if you are well over the 40 BMI it's not as much of an issue. Good luck!!

I have Aetna and was approved very quickly. I think they will approve you. If you are just missing one year, and you had a BMI of 40 or more the year prior, chances are they will assume you didn't loose a drastic amount of weight within one year to drop your BMI and then gain it all back within the same year to get back to the BMI of 40 or more. I think you'll be ok! Call your doc, they probably deal with this kind of thing all the time and will tell you what they think! Good luck!!!

i agree with gonna loose it....u will be fine..as long as u have the other months they will approve you...a complete idiot would have to deny your submission just because one year is missing. You still have evidence of 4 other years where most of them ran consecutive.....let us know the results!

Thanks for the support i will let you all know what happens.
