I'm Approved for RNY!!!!!!!!

So, I took my kiddos to IHOP for some free pancakes - it's free pancake day to celebrate Fat Tuesday. I got the call from my surgeon's office that I have been approved for my RNY surgery!!!!!!!! I am so excited!!!! Now I have to attend a group nutritional class, and do some pre-op testing on March 11. I also have to do an endoscopy. After all that is done, then I will meet back with the surgeon again and schedule a date.
I have Aetna Choice POS II insurance. I did the 3 month mutli-disciplanary plan. The surgeon's office submitted my stuff on Wed. the 18th - so it took 6 days and that's including the weekend.
I can't wait to be on the loser's bench! I am soooooo ready for my new life to begin!!!!

OoOo my goodness congrats & kudos! I love the word “approved" I really really want to see that.

Congratulations!!!!   I have Aetna too and they were so quick...faxed the stuff on Thursday and the following received a phone call that I was approved!!   I did the 3 month multi-disciplinary plan too!  I'm excited for you!!!!  My surgery is in 12 days!!

Nan - I'm so excited for you! I can't wait to get a date, something to count down!

Thanks!  You're right, it will be something to count down and let me tell you it goes fast.  I read that here on OH butI thought 'oh that 2 week liquid diet is going to stink and time will go so slow' but already I can't believe how fast the time has gone since my approval! 
Let me know when you get your date!!

 

Thanks Rosie!
