Does anyone else have aetna Ins. for weight loss surgery? |
Hello, I am in the middle of trying to get approved for weightloss surgery. I have done 5 of 6 months dr supervised weight loss appempt. I live in Illinois, and I have been unsuccessful in losing weight, I have even gained about 10 pounds. Is this a reason to deny me if all my other paper work comes in ok? I am afraid I am not going to be approved since I have had such a hard time trying to lose the weight. Any help would be great! Aetna does pay for gastric bypass if you have failed on supervised weight loss management AND if you Body Mass Index is greater than 40. BMI is calculated by taking your weight in kilograms (2.2 pounds per kilogram) and dividing it by your height in meters squared (2.54 centimeters to the inch). If you have difficulty calculating this send your height and weight to johnerussomd@jhu.edu I had gastric bypass surgery in April 2005. I started out at 268, now I鈥檓 180 and holding, after 1 year and 7 months. These links will help you in many ways to make a decision if this is for you or not. I vote yes, because it made such a difference in my life. I was taking 8 pills a day, and after my surgery, I lost my diabetes. The way they do the surgery, takes your diabetes away. I no longer have to take glucophage, and I no longer have high Cholesterol or high blood pressure. I鈥檓 down to 2 pills a day. I went from a size 26-28 to a 16-18. Weight loss surgery-like gastric bypass /lap band surgery / stomach stapling and gastrectomy have become very common and very safe now. My cousin got her Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery in India. She has lost more than 65 lbs in 5 months and is very happy with the results. The price for obesity surgery is very less in India. My cousin just paid 25% of the cost she was quoted in America. She got her surgery from a company called Forerunners Healthcare. |
