I have been approved!!!!!!!

I just found out my insurance (Aetna) has approved my surgery. It only took 9 days for them to approve me. I have an appointment to see Dr. Hodges on the 19th and at that point he will set the date. I thought I was nervous waiting for approval, now the nerves will really kick in for the surgery. I will still have to go to the all day class on Oct 30 so most likely my surgery wont be until after that. That will give me more time to get more weight off for a safer surgery. I am sooooooooo happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Alan

wow!!!!! how amazing Alan. That is just great. Are you still coming to the support meeting on the 23rd. If you can bring your wife with you too. we would all love to meet her. I bet you are happy! and jumping for joy. Congradulations. wonderful. Jan

Alan C*O*N*G*R*A*T*U*L*A*T*I*O*N*S That is such wonderful news. See now are you not glad you came out from under that rock!!! I am really happy for you I know how important the approval is to move foward with surgery. God Bless Melissa

Alan, I could just cry, or jump for joy if I could jump!!! I'm so glad I logged on and found out this good news. I know this is the beginning of a whole new life for you and your family. You are going to do so great. Soon I'll be joining you as you join others on the losing side. WOOHOO!!! Lana

Congratulations Alan!!! You may not remember me but I met you at St. John's support group meeting last month. Is the doctor making you lose any weight before surgery? I'm about 5 weeks away from my surgery with Dr. Hornbostel and I can hardly wait. Bet you feel the same way. Good luck! Huera
