Got Approved By Aetna Today

[Ice_Prince 4]

I am so happy that words cant explain. I am still waiting on the Lap Band Center to call me to give me my surgery day. I feel like this is a new beginning for me. I want to thank you all for giving me your words of encouragement and answering a lot of my question. Trust there are many more question to be answered LOL. Wow I taught Aetna was going to be trouble from the post I have been reading. I guess I gave them all the info they need the first time around, whatever it was I am so Happy. I will keep you all updated on what next.

Talk to yall later.......:thumbup:

Congrats to you- I have Aetna also I just had my first nutrition visit on 11/17. Who did your supervised diet your pcp or the nutrionist? I am curious trying to make sure I do everything by the book so I can say I'm approved. Did you see someone else for the exercise part. All the info you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks- again congrats :thumbup:

Well I went thru Lap Band Solutions here in Dallas Texas, I did my weight lost supervision with them and went thru Dr. Grimm for my nutrionist visit. The hardest part was coming up with my weights for the last 2 years, because I didn't really go to the doctor much.Anything eles you want to know hit me up.

Congratulations!! I had surgery through Aetna and everything went really well and I'm glad they are my insurance company. They have also covered my fills up to this point.

I have to change insurance in January and I'm so bummed.

I hope everything goes well for you!!

Hi....I also have Aetna for insurance and they do cover the surgery. I have to do the 3 month program before my surgery (which is what I am doing now) did you have any issues with Aetna at all? I havent had any issues thus far but I had bad experience with Cigna some years back so kind of nervous lol

Congratulations on your approval! I am also with Aetna, so anytime I hear good news like this, it makes me happy. I'm just starting the 3 month process, so I hope to get banded in Feb. or March. Sounds like you have had positive results with Aetna so far -- yippee! Good luck to you!
