Approved ...now waiting for my surgery date
I completed all insurance requirements (Aetna) this time last year but loss my insurance when I switched employers and my new plan (still Aetna) did not cover bariatric surgery. This past January I went from contractor to permanant federal employee and chose Aetna. I called Johns Hopkins in the beginning of March in hopes of not having to start all over. Luckily, I didn't since it hadn't been quite a year since I finished so I just had to have a refresher with the nut (3/21) and the psych (3/29). My paper work was submitted to Aetna on 4/6 and I got my approval on 4/11. I talked to Hopkins today and my chart has to be reviewed by the nurse and I should get a call within 3-4 days with a surgery date:) I am oh so very scared but also very much excited to get er done!
Yeah for you!!! Hope you get your date soon 
A couple days after my paperwork was submitted I called to check on the status and was told it was "pending" because they requested additional information from my surgeons office, which was a two year weight history. This of course was sent in with my original paperwork. Once they received that I got approval the next day so there is hope just make sure your paperwork is tight
