Anxiously Awaiting Approval

[lnun 0]

I too just finished my 3 months and all the paper work was submitted to Aetna on Friday 7/16/10 and I preared myself to have to wait to hear back at least 10 to 30 days and guess what got a call about 2 hours ago saying it is approved!! They then told me they are booked for the next 30 days with one opening July 28th so I took the date now I am so excited but nervous too. I hope you hear back as fast as I did not sure what insurance company you have. I am keeping my fingers crossed for all of you :tt2:

Hey everyone, I am feeling really great. On July 23rd I called my doctor's office and the girl working on my file was out sick so I didn't get my update. HOWEVER, on Friday she called me and told me I had been approved. It still had not sunk in and I was waiting for confirmation before I got my hopes up. Well yesterday afternoon, my letter from Aetna arrived stating I had been APPROVED! I am so happy and I have my appointment with the surgeon on August 5th. I'm excited but still am unsure of what to expect at my pre-op. I am hoping I get it all over with before Fall classes start. So my choices are pretty slim and it would be really weird if I spent my birthday in surgery, ha ha but I would not be too bummed about that because I would be getting the best present EVER!

Congratulations and good luck!! Will be keeping my fingers crossed for everyone here who is anxiously waiting!

I've just started the whole process. Found out my Aetna plan covers the surgery, found a bariatric surgeon and am attending my first seminar next wednesday. So, you can say I'm just getting my feet wet!

Best of Luck!!
