They submitted 1st thing Thursday morning (15th) & I called member services to ask yesterday afternoon (21st). It was still pending, granted, but she was able to tell me that nothing was missing, etc.

It has been two weeks since they submitted to insurance and I still have not heard anything. I have tried to call several times and I just get voice mail saying that this person is helping other callers. When I speak to someone else, they just send me back to where I started. Tired of waiting.

I hear ya...when I called last Wednesday, all was well. Pending, but in order. Called yesterday & all of a sudden they are missing info & denied the claim. Idk what to think. My coordinator said it's not an official denial...idk. Starting to question all of this.

I spoke with the documents manager Wednesday night and it has been passed on to her team lead. She did not say that anything was missing but I should hear something by Monday. She said the new process takes a little more work on the front end but once it is passed on, things will go quicker. Good luck to everyone else waiting on approval!

I'm still waiting. :\ Today is 3 weeks since submission...I'm starting to lose hope. The coordinator called Tuesday & told me that they are missing wt info from 2011, but have 2010, 2009...etc. That's bc I didn't go to the dr in 2011. 1st off, I wasn't sick & 2nd, I didn't have ins for an annual. So, idk...I may get penalized for being too healthy AND uninsured. She didn't seem worried at all, but I've seen a lot of ppl here with issues w/Aetna. I guess we'll see.

MW- Dont throw in the towel or give up just yet.. It will all come through. I find it irritating that at one point they told you everything was fine and nothing was missing and now something is missing. It just makes you wonder do they take the time to view the files before spewing out misinformation.

I am in the waiting period with you. They just submitted my paperwork on 11/30. Fortunately with my employer, they have to give an answer within 15 days of submission... So we shall see. I am praying for ya and my fingers and toes are still crossed, getting a little fatigued, but still crossed :-) ;-).. Hang in there lady....

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

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

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
