Aetna Ins. with two more classes to take before surgery :)

[Karlnjax 163]

I saw my surgeon on March 19^th and was told by the bariatric advisor that I would be looking at surgery for the first part of August. I have already met with my dietician and had my first class on “Hunger” Now I am being told I have two more class then I see my final visit with my surgeon. I didn’t understand why surgery would be in August if I only need 3 months of monitored visits for my Insurance co. AETNA why do I have to wait so long. They claim it will take 2 weeks for Aetna to approve everything once they get it. Any feedback is appreciated.

Hi there!

We are almost on identical paths. I too have Aetna insurance and am on a 3 month multi-disciplinary program. Last month I had my first consultation visit. My first appointment is May 15 and I need to be seen for 90 days after that date. Which actually works out to be in August as well. So technically not 3 months but rather 90 days. I was confused myself but since I got some clarification it makes more sense to me. Of course this may not be the case with you but I figured that I would share! Best of luck to you on your journey

My stuff should be through insurance by end of May but my surgeon's next open date is July 13th. Did you sleep why August?
