How large is the packet you submitted to your ins. for approval?

Yikes! I just counted the number of pages I've compiled to submit to my insurance and it's 50+ pages - that's WITHOUT my surgeon's information (I see him on Friday for a consult and to start the ball rolling with my insurance company). My Aetna HMO requires 5 year medical history and proof of 6 months Dr. supervised diet. I am also including my personal cover letter, list of co-morbidities, Weight Watchers documentation, exercise program enrollment papers, nutritonal guides, meal planning handouts and calorie counters I received from my doctors. Is this overkill?? I've read so many posts where people have been denied by Aetna for lack of information, or Aetna hs requested more information. I decided to hit them with both barrels. I'm curious, if your insurance company requires extra info., how large was the packet of info. you sent in?? Thanks!
