Aetna requesting....



Recommended Posts

Blah... everything submitted on April 11th. Keep calling to check for updates and was told today that they are requesting an "interpretation of my weight history". WTF? My PCP submitted my weights for the last several years in a graph form, which clearly shows the weight and date it was taken. What else do they want?? The surgeon's office said they will take care of it but I'm so irritated, lol.

People, people, people. All companies are in the business of money. And insurance companies are the greediest. Their goal is to never pay out a dime. All this pre, pre, pre stuff is to get you to GIVE up or mess up and not provide some BS form or record they make up. Just keep trudging away and eventually they will run outa objections and have no choice but to approve it. Good luck.

My ins co said, "where's your food journal for the last six months?"

I worked all night and turned it in the next day. Got approved 24 hours later. DON'T GIVE UP!

      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.
