@@reinay86 I am completely done with my requirements. My file is now sitting with Aetna waiting for approval! So now I'm just stressing for my "YES" !

Oh wow I can't wait to get there! How long was everything overall for you, I only just started in December and I feel like the estimated date of survey in mid April may not be realistic. Some people wait for several more months.

@@reinay86 I promise it comes so fast! I went to my initial consultation 10/27/16. I had to do 4 monthly nutritionist meetings. A Psych eval, a dietician appt, an egd, a heart echo, stress test and a sleep study. *whew* and finally all was ready to submit 1/25/17. So the 4 months was all. Who do you have for insurance?Oh and as long as my approval comes back asap, I'm going for surgery 2/21 or 2/22!

What doctor are you going with? I have chp too and Dr Wright always says not to worry about that they're an easy insurance. I'm praying so bc I'm nervous as helllll. Lol. I have one more nutrition appt which is March 3rd (Dr made me do 3) then I can submit for approval.
