I have aetna. I did the 6 months weigh in. I lost 14 pounds total during the process. I did gain 2 pounds my 3rd weigh in, but managed to get it off by the 4th weigh in. I was approved in 6 days after being submitted to insurance. Process really goes fast. Good luck to you. My surgery is on December 12th.

With Aetna, I️ chose the 3 month multi-disciplinary regimen with my surgeon and nutritionist. I️ just couldn’t have a net gain during that time. They allow 15 business days to respond for approval but my precert was started 10/20 and got approved 11/1....so that was 8 business days. My surgery date is 12/7. Best of wishes to you all!!!

      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.
