Has anyone been approved for the surgery through AETNA HMO. I was told last Thursday at my consultation that I would need 6 mos of Dr notes that showed I tried loosing the weight. Has anyone been able to get around that? And how detailed were the doctors notes? HELP!!!!

I am a PRO at Aetna.....LOL...2 years and counting.... What you will HAVE to have is the following: #1-At LEAST 5 months of DOCUMENTED PHYSICIAN supervised dieting. #2-A letter stating that this surgery is MEDICALLY NECESSARY. If your Employer excludes this benefit, you will need to alter these two to the following: #1-One YEAR. #2-Letters from THREE Doctors. The notes can say: 8/7 reg check up dieting as long as they mention it. Good Luck! ~Ans~
