Don't give up if you meet all of the qualifications. A good majority of "us" were denied at first too. I was, but I kept fighting, and I am so glad I did.

My BMI is under 40 and although I have a ton of co-conditions, I don't have the exact ones Aetna would approve. Going to appeal and hope for the best!!

Waiting for the official letter and then the doctor will try a peer to peer. If not, I have another level appeal through our benefits administrator. Fingers crossed!!!

I've been there. I was denied by Aetna twice. My doctor did a peer to peer review and I was still denied. I got my approval through doing an appeal. My surgery date is 5/22. 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.
