20 days to go!
Went and had my upper GI and my gall bladder ultrasound today, confirmed that my neighbor who is a nurse and runs a clinic at Dekalb Medical will be my person-with- me and is going to my final surgeon appt (thank you Ruthie!). On the down side Aetna is saying I am not covered on COBRA but I ripped a few CSM's a new one and they are getting it worked out.....I will not be denied

good luck to you, I hope your approval is in the mail soon.
I hope your "ripping a few CSM's a new one" does not go against you.
We usually get more out of people when we are kind, but whatever works for you.
Once again good luck to you!
