chrispat123 11 Posted September 22, 2020 I switched to Aetna starting 9/1/20 since I was denied by IBX (after they said it would be covered). I got the call this morning that I am approved already! My surgeons office submitted the paperwork on Friday. I did Optifast for the dietician appointments so I could get the 12 appointments in 3 months instead of 6 months. My surgery date is October 14! 7 months later than expected but finally happening! 2 1 GreenTealael, ksgypsy and NettyD reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
