I hate waiting!



Recommended Posts

As the subject says, I hate it! I feel like I am doing nothing to help this along. I have completed all my appointments, had my first consult with the surgeon andall my info will be submitted to the Insurance for approval tomorrow. From what I gather Aetna approves fast so I should knowearly next week but until she gets all my info they won’t even schedule the 2ndconsult.

All of my paperwork was submitted yesterday to insurance. I completed my 6 months on the 15th along with pych eval, and dietican consult. I had a sleep study done as well "sometimes aetna request one be done". I actually talked to a lady today through Aetna's precertification department that told me there are 2 different numbers paperwork can be submitted to. 1 number takes the paperwork through all of the process which can take up to 3-4 days. The other number is what they call the fast track number. It actually sends the paperwork through to the precertification number right then and can be approved that day or the next. I called the office back to see if they could re-fax it to the fast track number. I am ready to get this going.. I have never been this excited about anything other then the birth of my children, and my wedding of course.. This is a new beginning for me!! Let me know how long it takes for yours to go through!!

Could you share the fast track fax number? I would like to see if they can do that, I don't think my Aetna requires the sleep study, I think it's all on the surgeon.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
