par1959 470 Posted May 17, 2014 I also have Aetna. The person I sit across from at work started the paper process a couple of weeks after I did. He got approved in a couple of weeks and I am still waiting. I am into it about 8 weeks at this point. Hurry up and wait!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rdy4chnge14 1 Posted June 2, 2014 I have Aetna and I was told by several reps that Aetna has 30 days to approve or deny a person for surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jinvegas 9 Posted June 2, 2014 You could always call Aetna. I ended up having to do that and got my approval this way. They gave me a confirmation number to give to the doctor and this allowed me to get my date of surgery set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruce Peter 39 Posted June 12, 2014 I have Aetna also. My BMI is 36. I applied with the O-band center and they claim I am pre approved based on my co morbidity and previous band removal. I have an appointment next week with a surgeon. I'll report back once I meet them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
avs194 3 Posted June 18, 2014 Mine took about a month. So far the waiting has been the worst part of the process. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
