 Good job!! :D 

Congrats!

 Can you tell me more about the process with Aetna?  I also have Aetna.  I just attended an info session last week so I'm just starting.

Thx!

@ paris; It was really easy 3 months visit with PA. One visit each physical therapist, dietician and counselor. I learned as much as I could by researching on this forum and other places on-line as well. Good luck with your approval!

 Thanks for the info!

Yay!!! Isn't it exciting!! Congratulations!

Thanks gals!

Congrats on getting your approval! I'm in the middle of my 8 weeks of dr monitored diet, needed by insurance. I'm getting so depressed that the scale has barely moved and then thinking how upset I'll be if I don't get approved after going through all this. Did you ever feel that way while waiting?

Well as you can see I haven't lost much myself. But as I figure it every little bit helps, so you have only lost 4lbs. Hey the way I look at it is that's 40lbs of weight taken off your knees (my PA told me that for every lb we lose it takes 10lbs of pressure off the knees) I know it's hard to do all this and think that we might not get approved but at least by going on a dr monitored diet we know we are doing it the right way. Slow loss is more likely to become permanent.
Good luck with your journey!
