sillymama 1 Posted October 6, 2011 34 mom~ I'm in the same place! I'm hoping to have the surgery in December. I have Aetna . .. so I'm in the 3 month waiting period too. I'm having trouble losing weight pre-surgery. I was told not to lose too much bc my bmi is 37 and I have to be above 35 to get approved. . . . I'm excited, but nervous. I'm in Phoenix Arizona I'm going to Dr.Terry Simpson. I haven't had my surgery yet doing a three month waiting period that my insurance wants. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
