Panniculectomy Approval/Aetna Insurance?

[3lilrams 37]

Has ANYONE had such luck?! PLEASE lead me in the direction to get this started! I am 16mos post op, and have lost 190lbs! Started at 325 and I am now 135...I am in desperate need of insight on getting this procedure, but I need Aetna to cover it. Dang why can't they have the 100lb weight loss clause!!! HELP ME PLEASE!

Well I don't know about atna but some insurances will if your extra skin is causing problems. It all has to be documented though

You have to document and take pictures. Visit your primary doctor so it is recorded that your skin is breaking down. Keep all receipts for any meds prescribed.

Consider going to Atena's site and do research, that's how I knew what to do to prepare for sleeve process.

I'm planning to save my pennies for the day I can have the excess skin removed however, I plan to wear a body griddle once my swelling is down and I have no pain.
