God bless you!!! U look awesome

How did it go? My prayers are with you <3 I think that your appeal should work

Congrats!!!!!

Praying for you Let God handle it - have Faith <3

What insurance due you have?

I called Aetna today and they said I was approved !!!! Mzshay- your next!!! It's such a relief - I feel like I can breathe now . Now need the surgeons office to give me a date!

I'm trying to keep busy too but I can't stop thinking about this. I'm so obsessed lol.. Not a good feeling

I'm with you- my surgeons office had me sign the consent and pay the program fee $300 on 5/15 and then the witch that submits the paperwork to the insurance didn't do it until last Thursday 5/23 . She is soooo nasty and mean! So now I've been waiting for approval and refuse to call my surgeons office cause she is soooo mean and I'm afraid tog telling her off !! I will call Aetna tomorrow to see if they decided yet. I'm so nervous and afraid that I won't be approved. To me, this surgery is too good to be true. I've been waiting for so long for a tool to help me get this weight off and keep it off! Keep the faith even though there are bumps in the road. I believe that God will help us

God Bless you! I wish you much success and happiness in your new life. I'm waiting for approval right now and hope to meet you on the losers bench soon

God Bless you this is so great!! I'm happy for you !!!!

Good luck- I have said a prayer for you

Congrats- that's awesome!!!!! How did they contact you regarding the approval? My surgeons office said that they send a letter thru the mail. I submit next week- Thx

Hi - had anyone been approved by Aetna without 2 year weight history showing BMI over 40? I am almost ready to submit but am so afraid of being denied. I have 1 year showing BMI of 36.2 from 2010 and a Jenny Craig paper from 2011 showing 38.3. Any advice is sooo appreciated ! I called the Bariatric nurse at Aetna 4 times over the last 3 months and she said not to worry- she said that since my BMI is 40.4- I should be approved with no problem . Is she lying?

Thank you for replying - I was just diagnosed with mild sleep apnea during this process. Do you think that would be enough? I just asked the YMCA for documents proving I've been a member since 2004. I used to work out there 5 days a week but then would get discouraged as I am now

Praying for you - keep the faith- God is good and he wants you to be happy- your probably going they this bump in order to help someone else in the future- you will get approved and then help someone else in this same situation. God is with you

You will be fine- just breathe and have faith! You must take care of yourself so that you will be there for your family your gonna do great!!

I started incorporating shakes a couple of months ago- I'm still pre op. I like the premier protein shakes from cosco - 30 grams of protein in a little shake - and it's yummy
