Congratulations Ann! I am so happy you got your date! Everyone is so right,now time will just zoom by. You think it will drag, but it's amazing how quickly it goes by. I've heard good and bad about Aetna approving, what I have heard pretty consistently though is, for the ones that don't get approved they always do once they appeal it. Strange huh? They'd rather waste the money on appeals than just approving you in the first place! You'll have the wonderful warm weather to recuperate in sit outside. Oh, can you tell how much I can't wait for spring to finally arrive here in CT?? Hugs to you Cheryl

Congratulations Ann! I know how excited you must be. The last thing will be the insurance approval, but if you've read up on what Aetna requires, and your PCP helps with all the file notes, etc., you should be fine! I was approved within a week! God Bless, Kathy Bilodeau Lap RNY 12/3/03 -72 lbs.

Way to go Ann!!! You're right around the corner. Best of luck, and I'll keep you in my prayers for a quick and speedy recovery. Maggie

GREAT NEWS!!! God Bless!
