Approved!!!

Jul 29, 2009

So I got the approval for my WLS. I have to tell you since the day paperwork was submitted to Ins and until I got the official answer was very stressful and I think my nerves got the best of me! I didn't want to do anything during that time but sleep...But now I have a date set of August 11Th which is amazing in itself b/c this is a date that is special it celebrates my husband and I's dating anniversary of 8 years now!!!And will also celebrate a new life for me so I thought that was kinda cool... My mother is also scheduled for her RNY on 8/11 as well she is just waiting to get her approval from an appeal that was submitted and is on "rush order" her and I are a team and it feels like I am leaving a team mate behind. I have a good feeling though it will all work in our favor. I have to say Aetna was very good about everything I was given a case manager and was able to contact her every time I needed to. Big Up's to the Aetna team LOL!!!I guess this journey is all about the waiting game and is not a for sure thing until you are on the operating table and its being performed. I had to go this week and get a EKG,chest x-ray, and some blood work requested by my surgeon along with another clearance from my PCP so I am hoping all will go well and tests come back so nothing delays this date. I also have start my Optifast diet and I am so not looking forward to that.
