nerlyc 15 Posted March 9, 2013 My surgery is scheduled for Tuesday 3/12 and today (Friday) after 12 pm they want 5 years of my documented weight. I have called any and everyone including my eye doctor to see if they wrote down my weight. Freakin ridiculous. Hey there! My surgery is scheduled 3/13 and I'm still waiting for approval. I started my process in July of 2012 and I just finally completed all the requirements. I thought I was done and just this week I got a letter from Aetna saying I need my weight history from jan or feb of 2011. Why do they want so many years from you? I was under the impression it was only 24 months. They do ask for a lot!!! Luckily I had gone to an urgent care in January and they weighed me otherwise I would be screwed. No other insurance asks for so much. I am seriously getting overwhelmed, I know exactly where your coming from. I really hope they approve us both. I called today and my approves is still pending. Lets hope I get an answer soon. Good luck to you!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
