Insurance company called me today and told me I was approved! I was speechless! I screamed so loud in the young ladies ear! She started screaming too. She stated she had the surgery two years ago and how wonderful she feels.

God has kept me calm through the whole process, but I admit I did get anxious towards insurance submittance time.

I heard so many horror stories about Aetna and the insurance process. They received my claim on 4/20/09 and approved it today! I thank God for all the people on this site who gave me advice on how to handle insurance, motivation, encouragement, and keeping me grounded.

And I really really really appreciate the staff at the surgeon's office.

Close to being on the loser's bench! YEAH YEAH YEAH

If you LOVED me when I was fat, you are going to be OBSESSED when I am thin!

That is great news, I know how happy you must be, Congrats,

      Success begins with wise choices I make,I will not let noncompliance be my mistake, The surgery I had was to assist me in changes. My compliance is for a success long range, So I will think before I decide to cheat. Remember the goals I want to meet. For this surgery is not something I was force to do It was what I wanted for a healthy life!
