My surgeons office turned in my paperwork on 7/23/19. How long did everyone have to wait for approval?

I'm also with Aetna, they took about 8 working days.

You should hear soon. 🤞🏾🤞🏾

After about 10-14 days they asked for more documentation that the Bariatric program sent in for me. I got approval within a couple of weeks. So definitely no longer than a month with Aetna

Once everything was done and submitted to insurance it took about 7-10 days.

I feel like this has been a long hard journey already. I’ve went through 3 different insurance to finally get approved lol. Our work offers two and my husbands work offers 1. I finally got the right one lol!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
