Just wanted to add, Aetna changed their protocol from 6 months to 3 months of monitoring MD visits .Feel like I hit the lottery !!! Not even 10 days to get approval. Feel very blessed.....hope I can tolerate the next 2 weeks. Wait a minute....know I can deal with it !!! Surgery scheduled for February 7th....my 62nd birthday is Feb. 9th...Birthday present to myself!!!
