approved by Aetna

Hi!

I was approved by Aetna! Surgeon's office submitted on Thursday morning. Aetna told surgeon's office they authorized today. That seems fast to me! I did the 3 month multidisciplinary diet.

I paid the fee to Dr. Cirangle ( huge fee that hopefully gets mostly reinbursed by Aetna) and then am waiting to schedule the surgery today or tomorrow. I am hoping to schedule it for the week of July 21st. That would give me a month to recover before going back to school( teacher). I leave for Mexico next week for a weeks vacation and then will have to do preop testing etc...

Hi, For the three month diet they had me on an 800 cal a day diet- i weighed in monthly. I had curves print out a sheet of the days I exercised and the psych and nutritionist submitted a report to them as well. i talked weekly on the phone to the behavioral psych as well the last few weeks. good luck
