Guest guest Posted August 26, 2001 Report Share Posted August 26, 2001 Hi, everyone - posted this on the AMOS boards and I am not sure if she knows about this group... anyway, I didn't have AETNA or experienced insurance problems, so I hope someone who has can address her concerns... If she has posted here previously, please forgive me -- I don't remember everyone's name and I don't think she's posted regularly if she has..... 08/25 01:24 PM I'm tentatively scheduled for WLS on October 9th, I plan to have a Duodenal Switch, but Aetna will only cover a RNY. They say that my surgeon can do all the RNY stuff, and anything he does beyond that (meaning DS) will have to come out of my pocket. I've noticed a few people on this site who've gotten covered for DS by Aetna, and I'm wondering if anyone has any tips for talking Aetna into the DS for me. -- Myers BMI: 68.4 Goshen, NY, USA Email: rokirose@... here's a link to her AMOS profile: http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/profile.phtml?N=M982788875 all the best, lap ds with gallbladder removal january 25, 2001 Dr. Gagner/mt.
