Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Insurance submitted, at last



Recommended Posts

I have been driving my surgeon's office crazy. It has been two full weeks since I finished my 90-day pre op diet visits. They had told me it would be a week or less before they sent my info in. I have emailed them every other day! Finally, today, they sent the info to Aetna.

It is really important that I get my surgery before the end of the year because my company has been sold and I don't know if my new company will cover bariatric surgery! I sure hope the insurance answers soon!

Good luck with your approval and getting all of that done! I know it is a long and stressful process! Keep on 'em! :)

Have you heard anything yet?! If not I would call Aetna's pre certification hotline just to check the status. 18003334432

Haven't heard yet. Aetna wasn't very helpful but I'll try again in a couple of days.. After all, it was the holiday

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
