Today marks 2 weeks since my paperwork was submitted to Aetna for approval. I'm so disappointed and aggravated bc I'm still waiting.

And I'm so jealous of the "I'm Approved" posts. It seems so unfair that some people with Aetna get approved in days and I'm waiting WEEKS. Blah.

WAH.

Ok, whining over! :/

All that is important is if you get approved!! Id gladly wait 2+ weeks if it meant my insurance would even consider me! My insurance says "F*ck no."

Good luck :)

It *will* happen!

I hated it when people told me to use my waiting time to prepare and research. Now I see they were SO right. This is a great place to do both. Move forward and Aetna will catch up with you. :lol:

Well yes Aetna will catch up as they have no problem telling the doctors you haven't had a momogram or your annual exam or visit to the eye doctor or the blood test they feel you should have.

      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.
