Help! My insurances is changing to Aetna!

After much stress with BCBS, just when you think you have things worked out..I find out that we are switching to Aetna in Jan '09.  I do not know what type of plan yet.  I will be in the middle of my approval then, not likely to the point of getting an answer one way or the other.  So I doubt I can get any continuance.  I will most likely have to start over.

If any of you have anything you can tell me about your experience with Aetna, that would be wonderful. 

Things like diet  and weight history requirements would be great.  I know I may have a different plan...but I'm just trying to get a feel for things.  It will probably be a PPO.  Any preffered provider info would also be helpful.

Thanks so very much!
