Heyy everyone!! Soo I just called my doctor of choice's facility yesterday to have their insurance specialists call my insurance to see is the gastric sleeve procedure would be covered under my insurance. They said it would be covered 100% at NO cost to me!!! Needless to say I was beyond excited, as I have been thinking about this for years, and just haven't had good enough insurance to cover it. I've already been evaluated by the doctor, when I first tried to start the process in 2015. So now I'm scheduled for a pre-op visit with the dietitian on 9/1, and I'm just wondering how long the process usually is?? I know I also need to eventually see the psychiatrist as well. I know I sound super impatient, but I'm just curious. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

So I spent hours last night trying to find Aetna's pre-op policy...and I found that they have either a 6 month or 3 month requirements...the 3 month program is basically 3 months of preparing for surgery and life after surgery (with supervision of course), so I'm going for the 3 month requirements. I guess I just have to let my surgeon know? Idk how that part works yet lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thankssss!!! I'm sooo excited, I'm sure my nerves will start to kick in once I actually get a date lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
