  1. I finally got my approval & surgery date....January 22 is the big day! Excited, nervous, anxious, scared, ecstatic, embarrassed... I'm feeling every emotion possible all at once!! Wow, this is really gonna happen!
  2. Hi Evelyn, I was just told that I'm losing my job & my employer is paying in full for 1 month if Cobra ins. If Aetna has approved me do you know if I will need approval frim Cobra as well? I was told that I needed to send was weight history for 2 yrs (I got everything else done) and I would be approved by Aetna.just wondering how Cobra works..
  3. Well I just found out today that my insurance will be extended thru Jan. 31St!!! However, it will be thru Cobra (employer is paying 100% for 1 full month). Has anyone had this type of experience???? I was told my coverage would remain the same & I would still use my Aetna card for services. Just afraid b/c this is all new to me....hoping someone has gone thru a similar situation...
  4. IDK...I'm gonna call 1st thing Mon. morning & try to figure something I out. I went to a low carb support group in 2010 & was weighed there each meeting...wonder if they would accept a letter from the group leader with my weight?? Can't hurt to ask....
  5. I love Dreamfields pasta. I started buying it a couple years ago when I was low carbing and have never turned back. I was leary when my NUT suggested it, but it tastes & feels like reg. Pasta. Most super markets carry it now & if you search Ebay you can prob. find a 55cent off coupon that many stores will double! (I know they were in my local paper a couple weeks ago).
  6. No, didn't go to the ER, Urgent Care, OBGYN, nothing..I am really a healthy person & rarely have to go to the Dr. I am so bummed!
  7. Hi. I have submitted everything needed to Aetna, except for my 2 yr. weight history. I have history since 2003, however I did not go to the doctor AT ALL in 2010. Ins. Has denied me right now because I don't have any weight history for 2010. I was told that this is the only thing holding up my approval. Has anyone had any luck getting around this? I hate to think I did all this work & spent all this money on co-pays, etc. only to be denied for something as small as this...Any suggestions??
