Topic: RE: Getting my "packet" in the mail!!
Good for you! Be patient...it takes a while to get through all the hoops, but you will get there! Keep us updated...it helps pass the time when you talk with others going through the same thing. I e-mail a lady on here, and we go to the same doc, and both are due to get our dates very soon. We have never met, but I feel like I made a new friend during this process. Feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like.

Topic: Now I wait
Well I had my Nutrition appointment today and had lost the amount I was supposed to. She signed off on me going to surgery. I talked to the office manager and she said she would take my chart to the meeting today. If the docs agree then the next step is insurance approval. Anyone with Aetna know how long that takes? I am getting so excited and nervous because I feel like it is really gonna happen!!
