3 months with nutrician, psych evaluation and pulimnary. I gained a few pounds the first month but then lost. My BMI is at 41 with high blood pressure. I aleady had major surgery this year so my deductable and maximum payout has been met. I am worried they will take that into consideration since they would have to pay 100%. I have a pre-set surgery date of November 1st. Really hope everything falls into place.

I also have Aetna Choice POS II. My first appointment was in July and did not meet with the nutrientist until my second visit in August, within that time I had gained weight. Now I am in a panic that I will not be approved by Aetna. My last appointment is October 10th and then my papers get submitted. I was not advised to see a trainer outside of the normal office visits. However I already did the physc evaulation but the sleep study was denied. I can't stop thinking about this, it is driving me nuts!! Good luck everyone!

I'm in ocean county too. Jackson area. I have aetna and they denied my sleep study. What r the chances of getting approved for the lapband? Getting very discouraged. -
