I have a dumb question. If you don't know the direct link to that document, how would you find it using the links on the Aetna site.

Because I've never been able to find it that way and I've looked several times.

you go to the main site, aetna.com, then in the "search" field you type in "bariatric surgery" - otherwise it wont come up or you have to search through pages of crap.

you have to search through pages of crap.

I have a lot of experience doing that. That site is so poorly designed... to the point where I couldn't find a search so I thought maybe they didn't have one.

Anyway, thanks for the tip.

I totally agree! I have complained about their site. It is excellent for seeing your claims and such, but anything else it sucks!

Search for: Clinical Policy Bulletins (CPBs) on the main Aetna web site.

There is an alphabetical list for all types of most procedures. Once on the list you need to find Obesity Surgery. Here is where you will find what you are looking for.

You will have questions to ask after you read thru the CPBs.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
