Finally got approval!

Jan 16, 2009

Got the letter from Aetna yesterday that surgery has been approved.  I'm psyched.  I've been working on the process since 8/26/2008 when I went to see my PCP.  There have been so many delays.  Had to get the referral; had to wait to get the appointment with the surgeon (actually his coordinator); needed to be on a 3 month supervised diet. 
They finally submitted to aetna and I was approved.  In the interim I had the cadio clearance as well as the pulmonary clearance and sleep study.  I know there is still more to do before the surgery actually takes place.  However, I will do whatever it takes to get this surgery done so that I can become a healthier individual.
