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 :)

      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.
