Question:
Aetna USHC...Has anyone been approved for lap-band surgery through Aetna?

Due to previous abdominal surgery, my surgeon feels the lap-band would be best for me. The surgery that I had was an RNY to the pancreas (had cysts on pancreas). Even if you were denied, please I want to hear from you and know what my chances are of being approved. Thanks    — Belinda S. (posted on July 29, 2002)

Hi Belinda, I was looking for an answer to the exact same question. I have been denied by Aetna and today found out my appeal was denied too. I have not yet received the letter of denial so I don't know where I stand at the moment but I do not intend to give up easily. I'll be interested to see if you get any positive results to your question. Good luck.........to both of us gail n.
