I called Aetna again today and was told that its in the final stage of review and a decision should be made this week. Thursday will be 2 weeks since they have received everything. The waiting is killing me

I am so sorry. That is just stressful. Have you tried calling them?

I'm pretty sure all my paperwork will be re-submitted tomorrow. The ladies at the bariatric center have been amazing. However I have been going throughnthis process since June. I known that is not as long as some on you, but my bariatric center said this is one of the longest processes they have delt with. I have prayed and put it in their hand and trust they know what to do and they have my best interest at heart.my sleep study results came in today but they won't share them with me until I go into the sleep center for a review. But they did fax them to bariatrics. Please pray for my speedy approval, I'm so nervous. Thanks everyone.

You are in my prayers. I understand. I have been doing this since May. It is very stressful. I was approved a few days ago, but still do not have my date. grrrr. I still think this is the most emotionally stressful period of the process, the not knowing.

Did anyone have to submit a 2 year weight history?

Absolutely. It is one of the requirements that you have 2 year history. I turned in 3 years.

One think I did was call and ask a lot of questions prior to getting too involved. I asked to talked to someone that works with Bariatric patients and got an awesome person. I got her name/phone number and she called her every month.

The last time I went to the doctor was in 2010, and I am done with everthing (6 mo) and ready to submit. My doctors office didn't let me know this when I started the process.
