MissNilsa, did Aetna tell you why they denied you the first time? And what did you include in your letter of appeal that convinced them?

Hi, all - did those of you who did the three-month supervised diet (like pinkyinforney and jeejee) get monthly documentation from your doctor, nutritionist, and psych? jeejee, i know you said you didn't use a trainer during that time - did your doc just write down that they had placed you on an exercise program? thanks!

thanks, you two. spunky - i'm assuming you had surgery with either dr. ren or dr. fielding? i'm glad to hear you like them, and that they don't require the 6 months of supervised dieting. i would really like to get this covered by insurance, but i'm not psyched about the idea of waiting six months for them to tell me that they've decided not to cover me anyway for some reason. you're right, they clearly count on people dropping out. do you mind if i ask if you were self-pay or insurance?
