aetna - peer to peer APPROVED

I am completely shocked.  After being given a verbal approval, receving a denial letter, my surgeon did a peer to peer yesterday & the denial was overturned.. I AM APPROVED!

Congratulations!  I know you're probably doing the happy dance.

Congratulations!!  I still remember the day I was called by Aetna and told my denial had been reversed!  I think I started crying I was so happy!  And the day my daughter got the call that her denial was reversed, I was so happy!   It's a great fee  It's a great feeling of relief!  I think the whole insurance approval process is the most stressful part of this whole WLS journey!

Good Luck to you!

     What exactly did you find out regarding their diet requirements for a revision?  My PCP is getting ready to sign off on my six months did with WW.  However, I started this before I decided to check back on getting a revision so everything I've done was online at home.  Any insight would be helpful.  Thank you.

I did not have to do any kind of diet for revision.  Aetna's policy does not state diet of any kind is required for REVISION.  The approved me verbally, sent denial letter, surgeon had peer to peer and explained I had a FAILED surgery (stricture, staple line breakdown) and they approved on the spot.  Let me know if you have any more questions.  Good luck to you!!

This is wonderful news... congrats!
