Now that I have your attention!!! haha Can ANYONE tell me anything regarding Aetna and thier experiences??? I have heard SO many different things whether they cover the surgery, they don't, they are not going to, 50% co pays starting next year. HAS anyone RECENTLY had to get approval with them? Any info would be so appreciated!!!! I will give them a call Monday first thing and find out what I can. THANKS TO ALL, Carrie

Hi Carrie, I have Aetna and I had to meet with my PCP and a dietician for 6 months before they would approve. I'm still waiting for approval, but they do make you jump thru hoops. Eventually, you can get approved. Next year, though, you will have to buy an extra rider on your insurance to have it covered. FYI. Tammy
