I am so glad you got approved and are doing great.
I have Aetna and did the 90 day program, I hope to be approved soon.

Hi - I am in the pre-approval phase. Aetna. One Doc I met with said it would take 4 months from first appt to surgery; a different doc said it could take 8 months!! What is the 90 day program?

I’m with Aetna and got denied

I am so sorry! Did they give you a reason? I am starting month 3 of pre-approval.

They said it wasn't medically necessary. It is unfortunate but I had it done anyway and don't regret it one bit!

Woot! Got my approval today. Cigna received it Thursday and got approval fax today. Already scheduled for 6/21 with preop diet beginning 6/11 (during vacation). 3 Protein Shakes and light meal, thru the 20th, but I think I’ll do only liquids the day before to be sure I’m “empty” lol. Now it really seems real 😵 excited but nervous as hell at the same time. I’ll bemoving to a new state 4 weeks afterwards. Already located a bariatric surgeon there that I can do followups with. No stress 🙄😂
