      @jalleyne1972 thanks...the surgeon's office told me that I need to bring $168 on the day of pre-op for the surgery but she said that the hospital may call me a few days prior to surgery and request that I pay the remaining $400+ of my out of pocket that I have left SMH. I met my deductible for the year already which is why I made sure the surgery gets done before the end of the year. Good luck to you, I hope you get approved! :)

  3. Just did my final weigh in...the insurance coordinator said she is going to submit the paperwork to Aetna and will call me with an update...my fingers are crossed!

      @SLIPSHOD not yet...I called Aetna on Thursday and they told me that the surgeon didn't send in the request until 10/14...the Rep then said it could take up to 15 days for a determination... I hope it doesn't take that long!

      It seems long a long road to approval but it will be worth the wait. Good luck

  5. The nurse who assisted the doctor for my test told me her friend has weight loss surgery and should be happy for her, however she wasn't. The nurse said the friend is now as small as she is and seemed envious her friend can now wear a size 10...how shallow lol and smh

      I agree Babbs I haven't decided who tell other than my husband, daughter and sisters...I just don't feel like having to defend my decision on having surgery

  6. Had a PFT (pulmonary function test) today. The test was painless but annoying
