Aetna Help!

[KSTUZ 438]

I'm sorry. Didn't mean to kill your hope.

Every surgeons office is different.

Did u have a NET GAIN?

Did u end up weighing more than where you started at??

If u mess up I feel like they just make u fight harder to prove u want this.

U could be approved! Don't worry until u have too!

IF DENIED---FIGHT FOR WHAT U WANT!!

I am!

They said the nutritionist wrote down that I started at 385 which I dont agree with and that my last weigh in was 392. So basically I gained 7lbs.

[Westfield27 54]

What makes me the most angry is that I was told it didn't matter if I gained or not.

I would ask them to delay sending the package to insurance for 2 weeks. Make believe you are on a 2-week pre-op diet. You can knock the 7 lbs. off by then.

Unfortunately, it has already been submitted. Im trying to remain optimistic my bmi is 58.8 with pcos and high blood pressure. I hope thats enough.

OK, why not go on the diet, and IF they turn you down, do the Protein drinks & get a new number to go along with your appeal.

That's my plan. I'm going to do my best to get back under "385" which apparently I started at in case that I am denied. Tomorrow I am calling the nutritionist to set up another appointment.
