Approved with Aetna with low BMI



Recommended Posts

Took the dietician classes for 4 months, saw the shrink and got approved the first day insurance received my paperwork. BMI - 37 but have High Blood Pressure (take 2 pills not the req 3) and Metformin for pre-diabetes. Can't believe there was no trouble with my insurance! Yay

Congrats! I also have Aetna, but my BMI was over 50, so I wasn't too worried. Worked my checklist of items, got approved in May, had surgery in June. Good luck to you! :)

I'm doing great! Down 45.5 lbs as of this morning (inc lbs lost on preop) & I managed to exercise for 60 total minutes today. Not 60 all together, but one day that will happen. :P

      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?

      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.
