I just got a call from my surgeons office. Aetna has changed their policy to 12 visits with the dietician/counselor. There is also no more policy about weight gain because they realized during all of this that people are gaining weight to almost no fault of their own. So I've had 5 visits, and I have 2 scheduled for June and 1 for July 1st. Then just 4 more. It actually doesn't change my timeline that much, maybe pushes it out into September a little but it's not that bad. I will have an EDG when my dietician visits are done and as close to surgery as possible because they have to COVID test me before I can have a procedure. My patient advocate sounded so stressed on the phone. Apparently there have been a few policy changes for different insurance companies in the past month, so she’s been trying to get all of it figured out without messing up the time frame that she originally gave all the patients.
