I had Aetna also. My surgeon told me from day one that Aetna is one of the toughest insurances to get approval from and they want to see no weight gain at all during the 6 month supervised weight loss. I gained 8 pounds in the last 2 months of my 6 months required for approval. My surgeon had me do one week of the liver reduction diet prior to my appointment for month 7 and I lost 12 pounds.....the 8 I gained and another 4. They submitted right after and I was approved in a week. Had my surgery 4/21.
