Waiting On Aetna Approval



Recommended Posts

Hey All~

I am waiting on my Aetna approval. Does anyone know how long it takes?? My last appt with the Dr. was April 26th. I thought they had submitted everything that day but apparently it took the office a week to get all the paperwork together and Aetna said they recieved it on May 7th. Still haven't heard anything. Is this good or bad??? LOL. Just wondering how long other Aetna members had to wait.

Quick question...for the "exercise therapist" portion of the pre-approval hoops, did you guys see a physical therapist? Thanks!

      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?

      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.
