Rleblanc100 4 Posted April 19, 2017 I have Aetna insurance and I had my first consult on 12/26/2016. I then had my psychiatric evaluation and consult with my GDI and finally completed my endoscopy. Nutrition consults where from January to March and the office had me schedule one for April then a week later in March I got a call to come in for weigh in on 4/7/17 so they could submit my paperwork on 4/10/17. Anxiously waiting I kept calling the office with no update and then today 4/19/17 I called Aetna and they said I was approved with service date 5/10/17 and then a few minutes later the office called with the great news I go in to sign my paperwork tomorrow, Friday I have pre admission testing and then followup with my PCP next Thursday. In all, approval took 7 business days: psychiatric eval, egd, 3 monthly nutritional consults and post consult with surgeon. 4 Ms. Brightside, Newsgirl361, Sneki515 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sneki515 19 Posted April 19, 2017 We are only 3 weeks away! So exciting and nerve wrecking all at the same time. My timeline was a bit faster than yours as my first consult was on 3/10/17 so only 2 months for me. Let me know if you want to be sleeve buddies! 2 Rleblanc100 and marissahealthiernewme reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
