APPROVED in less than a WEEK!!!!!

[AmberK 5]

I'm so excited!!! I just got a call from my surgeon's office and was told that Ive been APPROVED! I have Aetna insurance and the request was sent in last Thursday and I was approved today! WOW- Im so surprised that I was approved that fast!

Now I have to go see my PCP again for an EKG and complete bloodwork next Monday then will make an appt to see my surgeon. When I see my surgeon we will set a surgerday and then I can start my 2 week diet! Im hoping to have surgery the 2nd week of July but I will be going on vacation to Colorado the last week of July so I might have to wait until August to do surgery. But the biggest hurdle is out of the way now! WOOT!

That's encouraging. I also have Aetna, and since I am flying overseas in October I am hoping the process takes as little time as possible so I can have the most possible time between surgery and my trip.

I have BCBS and I was approved that fast as well. The Doctor's office was floored. I called to tell them I got the letter, and she said Oh honey you couldn't have it has been to soon. I said No I am telling you I have the letter and I faxed it over and she called back and said I am so sorry you are right you have been approved, she said she didn't even look at all the paperwork when it came in because she assumed it wouldn't be that quick!!!! Now we are starting the process to get my husband approved for the bypass surgery!!! Hope it goes as quickly as well.
