Did consult today at Cedars Sinai, Los Angeles and Aetna POS ins. - experience?



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, I had my consult today at Cedar Sinai. I have my first appointment with the social worker next monday and with the nutritionist the following monday. My insurance website says that it requires either 6 month program or a 3 month multidisciplinary program. I'm hoping for the 3 month program. Anyone have experience with Cedars Sinai or any of their doctors at CS for the surgery? Feedback would be appreciated.

I to have Aenta POS and I did the three month multi-discplinary diet. I did the New Direction diet which had everything included in one. So I was able to get away with three months. I had no problem getting approved once all my paperwork was in. You might want to look up New Direction Diet and see if they have it out by you. It's very expensive but worth the money. It's cheaper than going self pay that's for sure. Good Luck!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
