I called them just for the heck of it and the insurance got the claim but the pre cert,have not recieved it yet so the insurance was gonna call doc office so they can send it to pre cert team, So that's a start I know it was to soon to call but I figured what r they gonna do yell at me , lol . So now maybe things will be on the roll now. Don't fell bad I think there's a bunch of us waitng. My friend got approved and we both got Aetna . So fingers crossed !!

I want to call daily, lol. I did reach out to them the other day to get clarification on a letter that was sent. They told me that they provide a decision within 15 days and that I should hear something by August 12. I'm a little less anxious now that I have a deadline.

I also have Aetna and waiting on approval. I finished my 3 mt program on July 24th, my doctor office told me they have up to 30 days to give a response. I have called Aetna 2 times and they don't see anything in their system.

I finished my 3 month program on July 2nd but still needed a few things before it could be submitted to my insurance company. My doctors office told me 15 days so I'm hoping by then end of next week at the latest I will have an answer. I called Aetna yesterday and they told me that it was processing.

Ok, I called this evening....couldn't contain myself. I was told that they are "working on August 29th but it is not yet approved". That made me a little happy :)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
