Waiting..Aetna Approval

[Readyforthisjourney-Jen 14]

Hello all!! This post was very refreshing! I just completed my 6 month program. Due to the holidays I haven't been able to be in contact with my surgeon. I'm calling tomorrow so that they can submit insurance paperwork. I'm really excited!! I hope Aetna is good to me! Wish me luck guys!

Nerlyc, Congrats! Did you lose any weight during the 6 mo program? Just curious! Good luck!

No I was a bad girl and didn't lose any weight. I did however maintain my current weight. So helpfully they don't deny due to no weight loss.

I didn't lose any either. Pretty much stayed the same. Today was my 6 mo visit. Hopefully it'll be submitted to insurance soon and hopefully they'll approve quickly! Good luck!

Good luck!!! I'm having my endoscopy tomorrow and after that they will submit to insurance. I'm so excited as I'm sure you are!! Where are you from? I'm from California.

Yes, I'm very excited! I'm from Dallas, Texas.

Aetna took 10 days business days to apporve me - it felt like a lifetime, especially because of the Thanksgiving holiday and the office being closed

@enuff' date=' thank you!!! I hope so. All I know is that I need to put my act together. And start losing some weight on my own. So Aetna can see I could do it....I may start the liquid diet, after the holidays though...lol :-x Have you thought of doing your own videos on youtube to inspire our people before and after surgery? I though of it, but let's see what happens. Keep us updated with your surgery date. [/quote']
