Experience with Dr. Michael Johnell

I mostly just kept logs of food and exercise. Did the testing too. Asked for records from PCP (2 because I changed jobs.) The most recent one's PCP office have been downright nasty to deal with. Dr. Johnell's office finally called to expidite the process. Now I am just on pins and needles waiting. -
Oh yea. I am trying for the 3 month approval program. It required 3 months medically supervised diet, behavior modification and exercise. Plus I had to meet the criteria to qualify as candidate for surgery. This is first submittal so I am hoping for the best. Do you have Aetna?

I am above now but I only have been for the last 2 years. It is Aetna Insurance thing. If you don't have Aetna you may be fine. Keep me posted. I am going in tomorrow for the last of supervised weight loss meetings. I have to do the sleep study at the end of the month because my nocturnal study showed very low oxygen during the night. I am just trying to stay positive. -

I am still in the getting everything together for insurance approval stage. I am worried that my insurance will not approve. I haven't been above 40 BMI for five years. I have been above 35 but I may not have significant enough co-morbidities. I am just keeping my fingers crossed. I meet with Gina (the dietician) and Paula (physicians assistant) and agree with you about his staff. I will let you know. Thanks, Mile High
