Did consult today at Cedars Sinai, Los Angeles and Aetna POS ins. - experience?
twinmommy05 posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey everyone, I had my consult today at Cedar Sinai. I have my first appointment with the social worker next monday and with the nutritionist the following monday. My insurance website says that it requires either 6 month program or a 3 month multidisciplinary program. I'm hoping for the 3 month program. Anyone have experience with Cedars Sinai or any of their doctors at CS for the surgery? Feedback would be appreciated. -

Thank you everyone for all of your feedback. Maybe I'll sign up for a nutritionist soon. I hope it doesn't take too long after my consultation. -
I have Aetna POS insurance and it covers 90% for the lap-band surgery. Well, someone mentioned to me that though the surgery is covered, you have to go through 6 months of recorded weight loss attempts with your doctor. Well, I know that I have some record with my doctor and I want to get a jump start on exactly what I will need. No one will tell me. In 2005 I had my twins, so I don't have a record for 2004 and 2005. My first consult isn't until June 25th, but if I need to start seeing my doctor before that I want to get going on it. Please, please, please give me feedback. I'd like to get a jump if I can. I am 36 years old, 243 pounds, 5 feet 7. I also previously went to a diet doctor in late 2005 for diet pills, but it wasn't with my PCP. I am just confused on what to do.
