Anyone With Aetna Insurance?

Anyone with Aetna Insurance? ; I want to get the lap band done ASAP. I was just wondering, How long does it take for you to get it done? For example: If I have my first appointment on Jan. 9th will I be able to get it done 3 months after or 6? I understand I have to meet the requirements (which I know I already do). Answers please? =(

Hello Everyone, how are you? My name is Tiffany & I am new to this site, I literally just made it lol. I wanted to make it to get support from others besides my friends and family(: When I was 17, i started going to an Endocrinologist as a type 2 diabetes patient. They had talked to me about getting the lap-band surgery because my BMI is higher then 40. I started doing some research and really getting interested in the surgery. I have Aetna Insurance so they told me it will take 6 months along with all the other requirements to get this surgery done. So I started going through the process and stuff. But I felt that the doctor wasn't so good and I am now 19 and still no surgery??? So on January 9th I have an appointment with a doctor closer to me.. I really can not wait to get the surgery!!!! I've been eating healthy and exercising , but I just want the surgery quick so I won't be stuck with diabetes forever!! I heard that with Aetna you can get the surgery after 3 months and after they approve it... does anyone know it this is true? I'd like to hear from a lot of you to hear about your journey (:
