Aetna POS/Approved!

[wuan2000 0]

Hi everybody,

My husband and I were approved yesterday, and I couldn't be more excited. We have Aetna Select Open Access POS for our insurance. We just made sure to stick to all their requirements in the allotted time, and Bingo-approved! So, to anyone having doubts "Just hang in there and follow all the guidelines to the tee and you'll be fine". I took 2 weeks for the approval and I'm scheduled as early as next week for surgery. My husband has to do the Optifast, so he's not scheduled for 3 weeks. I was so nervous throughout this long process and I never thought I'd be one of the people writting one of these threads, but here it is. I'm stoked! :cursing:

Congrats to you and your hubby wuan! Welcome. Ask any questions you and hubby might have and we will do our best to answer them. Remember follow the Dr.'s orders. Don't try to eat before you are allowed. Your body needs that time to heal. Don't listen when people say well I ate chicken fingers or a burger a week after surgery and I am fine. That could cause trouble down the road if not sooner. Look at the thread for each of your stages and what to eat or drink. There are some great recipes on the site.:tongue:

Thank you Gone 4 ever. Your advice is exactly what I've been thinking. For the past 7 months all I've constantly thought about was the insurance approval. Now that that's over, I'm saying "Oh my gosh, this is actually happening. Now what"! I have a week by week chart from the nutritionist that I think will help alot. As long as I follow that, I shouldn't take on too much too soon. Do you have any advice about the surgery and first few days?
