Congratulations!! I am 12 days submitted and still no word. Did you find out through insurance or through your surgeon? I have considered calling insurance' date=' but the nurse @ surgery center said to wait, but it is killing me. So excited for you.[/quote']

They must give yoy a reply within the 14day period. So either friday or monday for you. Good luck.

Omg .... I submitted to Aetna on Thursday and was approved yesterday surgery set for the 22nd of April!!!! Ohhh lord thank you!!!

I can't remember Caligirl, did you say if you had any co morbidities? My insurance coordinator was not sure if they (aetna) would want to wait to get my 3rd full month diet report before making decision. Appointment scheduled for the 17th. Will still follow up with her tomorrow. Taking forever and I will be upset if she has received any info and not let me know. It was a week later then they told me when they filed my paperwork. Frustrating.

I have Aetna. I was just denied about 2 weeks ago because I lost weight about 2 years ago through diet and execercise. I have since gained every pound back and then some. My doc is doing a peer to peer review to see if she can get it overturned.

They ask for 2 years history......aetna is a mess... are thay going against there own requirement?????

My advise is be prepared for a denial' date=' so you aren't crushed. I think if you have proof for 2 years, that your BMI was 35+, you will be ok.....BUT you have to have documented proof. If not, that is a loophole they can use. Maybe it will just be a matter of waiting....I hope you get approved...It really shocked me, as I thought I had everything covered. I felt like all the efforts and DR visits over the last few years, were my detriment.

I will be hoping for you!!!! <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />[/quote']

      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.
