Its Totally Official

I received it in the mail today. Yep it was the approval letter from Aetna. Which means since Aetna approved it...BCBS cannot deny it! Meaning 100% COVERAGE! NOTHING OUT OF POCKET! ZIP! ZERO! ZILCH! NADA! I am having it framed tonight. just thought you all should know.

Congrats!  After all the pushing and pushing isn't it wonderful to finally see the light at the end of the tunnel?  All those premiums you've paid in over time...at last you get to use them!

I celebrated my letter by giving up diet cokes.  (I was sooo addicted to them.)  But, I knew I'd have to give them up sooner or later.  I just went cold turkey... moved over to fizzy waters, then gave them up for Crystal Light.  I drink so much that it will be hard to adjust to having to watch it after surgery.  Not drinking 30 min before during or after a meal will be hard  Ibelieve.  I'll just have to see how I do.  I think my diabetes medicines make me drink a lot.  But I won't be on those hopefully!

After getting my letter, I guess working on something like giving up diet cokes made me feel like I was working on a goal...it make it more real.

Best of luck on your journey!

That’s great news, it sure helps to know that you won’t have to pay out anything. I had Atena and they paid everything from my first meeting with my doctor, my RNY surgery, post care, and they even paid 100% of my hernia and PS. Full steam ahead to your spot on the losers bench. Good luck Alan H

SQUEEE!!!  Congratulations!!!!!
