Yes. Have the 5 years / BMI of 54 / 3 slip disk in the neck and sleep app

They just wouldn't do it until i'm done with the 6/mo program. Then i should be go to go.

Aetna faxed me the criteria that they want met, and I began the program just recently. However, I am not feeling very positive about it. They say they want the 3 month program, but it sounds like they make you do more, in reality. Then the health history part is going to be hard for me. I don't know if I can provide 5 consecutive years. I had some MAJOR issues with a couple of my kids for about 3 years, and my whole focus, my money, my time, my everything was on solving their problems and not on me. Sounds like that will sink my chances. :think

Also, my BMI is 41.6, I have diabetes. Aetna says I have to do a 3 month program along with a nutritionist and exercise. I have been doing a diet and exercise with my primary dr. for over a year, and will add the 3 month program with AIGB to that. And they require a health history. I think I have found medical history for 2000-2003 then 2005-2007. I have a one year gap. But that is all my criteria info. talks about. My primary says he will write a letter in total support of this for me. A sleep study wasn't included as part of my criteria, should I get one done anyway?

Does anyone know if you have to get a personal trainer for Aetna to approve the surgery? How do they supervise the workout unless you have a trainger?
