Surgeons office just submitted my paperwork to the insurance company!!! So scared of being denied, but I'm trying to stay positive on a quick approval.

Sending positive thoughts your way. I am finally at the end of my six month supervised time for Aetna. My thyroid was one point to high and I've had to take thyroid meds for the last month before we can submit because dr.'s office said insurance will turn it down unless thyroid is in normal levels. Getting checked in the morning hope levels are good :)

Me too! My paperwork was submitted to Aetna on the same day, October 16th. I called Aetna today and I am still in review. They said they have a 14 day window to approve or disapprove. (They better hurry up, I am supposed to be scheduled for October 31st, I hope it doesn't get delayed!

Yeah they said mine was still in review also!!!! I really hope it doesn't take the full 14 days!!! The surgeons office put that my surgery date was 10/24/12....I guess that is just an estimated date.

Well once they submit it takes 48 hours just to make a file, at least that's what happened to me. I'm hoping it doesn't take the full time frame because a lot of people on the forum said there's was approved quickly.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
