~Stephanie~ 3 Posted March 15, 2012 I started this process 2 years ago but stopped because I didn't care for the Dr. that I chose. I started again in November with Dr. Hanna in Las Vegas and I am so happy! At the end of the month I am done with my 3 months supervised diet (was able to use the months from the previous try for a total of 6) so the Dr office sent off my redetermination on monday to Aetna and I got approved this morning!!! Woo Hoo!!! My surgery is scheduled for April 18th..I am sooo excited :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jlo77 11 Posted March 15, 2012 Aetna was the best for me too. No issues with pre approval very straight forward. I love that they have bariatric case workers that help you along the way as well. I have been sleeved a month and love it already. Good luck on your journey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jlo77 11 Posted March 16, 2012 Once your surgery date is set you get a case worker. I speak to mine weekly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IMSKINNY 160 Posted March 16, 2012 I was told that my insurance follows Aetna's criteria. Does that mean I will be approved easily? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
