Approved!!!

I just wanted to post here today to give someone out there the hope I didn't. If you have Aetna, please do not give up. I went thru 2 1/2 years of jumping thru their hoops and I have finally been approved. I will say that if you are just starting out, please do not try to go for the band, choose the RNY, cause that is the only way Aetna will approve you and in the long run it will save you months of crying and heartache. My papers were submitted on 8/23 and on 8/30 my surgeon's office called and told me I was approved. I am scheduled to start my new life on October 17. I pray that each and every one of you that are suffering from Obesity get the help. I left this up to God and in the end, He has taken care of me. You just have to believe. Best wishes to all.

Congratulations Crystal! Best of luck to you. You have a wonderful and very skilled surgeon. Leanne

Just let me say WOO HOO!!!!

congratulations!!!!!! I also have aetna and my surgeons office just sent my appeal in last week for RNY so hopefully it will be approved. The RN that was handling my file on the initial request said that he didn't see any reason why it wouldn't be approved as long as I sent them 5yrs of weight....So we will see....I will definitely pray that the rest of your journey is a very positive experience

Who's your Dr...if you don't mind....Congrats
