Wow there have been so many ups and downs and I'm not even banded yet!!! I went through all the red tape for Aetna, and I was denied. I appealed, I was denied. My husband and I decided that the best thing would be this INVESTMENT in my health, and we are paying out of pocket. So today I called my surgeon and I have my pre-op appointment on July 17th! That's when I get my surgery date!! I couldn't be more excited! I've been quiet on this site because I didn't have anything to post, but now I finally do!!! I dont know how long it takes to get a surgery date once you have your pre op appointment, but Hopefully my surgery date is sometime in August! So excited!!

May be too late, but Aetna denied me twice also. My doctor requested a "peer to peer" review. Before the date of this review, Aetna reversed their decision inexplicably. Could be worth looking into.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
