My surgery is October 12th. I haven't received my approval yet. I'm on pins and needles waiting. The waiting is driving me NUT!!!! I emailed my doctor's office today. They contacted my insurance (Aetna) is still pending. The patient coordinator said if they haven't heard back from them today, they'll give them a call tomorrow morning. Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone else have Aetna? If so, where do you check on your member website if you've been approved? Would it say so in the tab for Communications under letters or messages?

I'm driving myself crazy. ????

I didn't get my surgery date until after I was approved. I didn't even get to see a surgeon until I had that approval in hand. hope you get your answer soon! Good luck!

It'll work out :) Think positive!

I have Aetna too so I'll have to play ball with them a bit as well. Could you tell me your process if possible what you did and when? Just want to compare. You can PM if you don't wanna post it under this topic.

      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.
