April 13th yay!

Okay so I got the news I have been stressing, agonizing, and desperately waiting for this afternoon. My surgery has been approved! I am so happy. I had begun to doubt the process. Rationalizing that it would be okay if I was denied. Thinking of other options. Maybe I would self pay and finance my surgery. I have been praying that God would let the best thing for me happen in regards to this surgery, but knowing that I wanted to have it done and hoping that He would agree. I'm nervous but ready to go. These next twelve days will take forever...... Surgery on 4/13.. Anyone else scheduled for that day? Lisa Aetna Open Choice PPO

Hello out there in VSG land. I am trying to be patient playing this waiting game. I had my seminar with Dr. Feiz from Valencia, CA on 2/9 and have been waiting for my insurance approval. I know it takes time to get everything together to send to insurance but OMG... this is killing me. I want this surgery so bad. I read all the forums and try to soak up all this information like a sponge I heard from the coordinator that she sent my packet into Aetna last week and it usually takes 5-7 business days from submission so now I am watching the calendar and trying not to to call the office for updates every day. Thanks for letting me vent. I hope to be logging on very soon with a surgery date. Has anyone had Dr. Feiz do their surgery? Just curious. Thanks, Lisa Source: The Waiting Game
