Tired Of Waiting For Aetna



Recommended Posts

Insurance: Aetna Pos II

My BMI for the past 5 years has been over 40

I have completed the doc visits, upper gi, nut visits (all 4), psy visit.

My doc office submitted my paperwork for 2 wks and they finally received it last week.

I just wish they approve me so I can hopefully get this done by the end of the year

Wow! You may have to wait longer. Than two weeks. It takes 30 days some ppl get approved before then but if they request more info from the dr or NUT then the 30 days starts all over again every time they request more info. My paperwork has been submitted on 10/27 I still have no decision!!!

Is that when you received your official letter or was told over the phone

The surgeons office called and told me and set up my pre op visit for tomorrow and surgery for the 5th.

Do you have to do the pre-op liquid diet! I just found out I got approved for the surgery on the 19th. That's what I'm dreading! Straight liquids for 2 weeks!!! Ugh!

Congrats! Hopefully I will have great news too. The doc ask for everyone to do a pre-op diet but I will have to talk to him depending on the time frame I have

Oh ok! My pre op liquid diet is 2 weeks. They want the liver nice and flexible so there won't be any damage to it during surgery!

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
