yes you read the title correctly I have been approved by aetna for my surgery!!! It's kind of surreal. The case was just opened on march 23rd pending the clinical file. I called this morning around 9 to see If the file had been received from my surgeons office and the rep said its pending and she can't see into the file. I called back to speak to my case worker and the rep stated I was authorized... I froze and said wait does that mean I'm approved?!?!?! She laughed and said yes. After I jumped up and down called my mom texted everyone (lol) I wanted to call back to hear it again. Low and behold my case worker called me and confirmed!!!! Today I am starting my liquid diet and the excitement is holding me right now lol. I assume now all I do is await my surgeon to call me confirm the date and give me my next steps!!!
