does it matter what group plan your under? We have the Aetna Choice POS II. I am wanting to have the gastric sleeve done. But, if they will cover the bypass quicker than the sleeve. I am willing to go that route. We were just a couple weeks ago with United Health Care and my husband's job decided to switch. I have already gone through the hoops for the requirements of UHC to approve it. I am wondering if I will have to go through it again. I just completed the requirements two weeks ago. I have Severe Sleep Apnea and stop breathing 144 times in one night. I now sleep with a CPAP. I have a BMI of 40 (at least) I am 5'6" and 246 lbs. My goal is to loose 100lbs. Someone give me some advice. I was devastated when I got the new insurance cards (didn't know that we had different coverage). My Dr. Office was just submitting the documents for the past 7 months of diet and rigorous things I have had to go through. I have high blood Pressure, and they even had to stop my stress test due to my BP going sky high. I contact Aetna and the lady I spoke with was real quick to say No Aetna doesn't pay for any bariatric surgeries. I was devasted and went into a FIT !!!
