Sorry just getting here with my good news!!!!
Well after my search for a local multidisciplinary diet program that didn't require a weekly drive to Baltimore for 12 weeks I have an even better solution....Aetna approved me and I have a date!!!!!!!!!!!
I have no clue what happened. I had made a decision on a program and requested my application from Aetna be withdrawn and last Friday the office manager called and bam, I had already been approved. The official letter came in the mail over the weekend.
So July 24th it is. I could have gone about a month sooner but there were some work conflicts that while I could have blown off I decided to be a responsible adult and take care of.
Super excited doesn't begin to cover it. Actually it's just starting to hit me. I completely told the office manager I didn't believe her when she called and asked about 10 times if she was sure I had been approved.

When I first began considering wls I started looking at all the options and determined the DS had the best statistics for long term weight loss maintainence and fit my lifestyle best. I have no problems with the required follow up and supplementing. So it was the logical choice for me.
