Hi, I'm surprised they accepted it on the first run. I was worried. because I don't have alot of xtra money to go into new programs... or anything like that. I have gone thru almost every dieting program. also, done a personal trainer 2ce. I dont' know what makes 1 person more acceptable than another. Minnie:)

I have aetna ppo also. I know they cover the surgery. i qualify, i have diebetes and at 40bmi. but, when u call they won't tell u the criteria. so, they tell u your dr. should know. my surgeon appt is in March. Hr said if i get denied after they put it in.. they will corporate then.. to find out exactly. I think insurance is going to hold me back. good luck. Minnie:)

:help: Hi, I was wondering how long a driving restriction would be on? how many wks do they recommend after surgery to be out? I have 6wks on my insurance for 100%. Also, after 2yrs if u gain weight and u still have the banded ... do they fill u again or adjust it. that stays in .. so, i would think the dr have more control than an rny. do they take the port out? just wondering thx..
