Aetna Pos



Recommended Posts

Can anyone give me an idea how long Aetna takes to approve? I am really hoping their quicker than some people are telling me. Some tell me they are slow and some people tell me they are quick.

I have Aetna POS and they approved in 11 days. At first my dr office thought it was 10 days. On the 10th day they called to follow up and the case manager said they have 15 days but they ended up approving the very next morning.

My friend & I both have Aetna POS... We both got approval in exactly 1 week.

I have my preop surgeon appointment this Wednesday. Papers went in last Thursday. Hoping he will put me on the liquid diet on Wednesday and have a tentative surgery date.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
