sparks 5 Posted August 29, 2015 I have a few questions for anyone who has already had surgery and has Arena insurance ... how long was the approval process after your last nutrition class? How long did it take to get a surgery date? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chasingchloee 58 Posted August 29, 2015 Hi! After all the papers were in to Aetna, it took 1 day for approval for me. And my surgery is September 23. Good luck! I hope you hear back soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nurseforlapband 11 Posted September 1, 2015 once received by aetna, it took them about a week, but that's because they were missing some information and had to request it.1 week from approval to get surgery date. My date is Sept 3rd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lexigurl82 160 Posted October 25, 2015 I have Aetna and it took a week for them to approve me. My surgeon has a wide open schedule and could do the surgery as soon as next month, however I have a lot to do as far as preparing for the surgery financially, therefore I scheduled my surgery for the 1st week of December. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
