Hi,

wish I was getting the band today instead I went today to get the results of my stress test and he wanted to put me in the hospital for a angioplasty I have a slight block on the top of my heart and they don't know how much it has processed if not tested they won't do anything until it is 75% blocked so I asked him to wait until after I get the band and he agreed.I am just getting stressed out more waiting for my approval wish I only knew on way or the other.

Hi,

Why were you denied?I think it is all in the way it is worded.Some one on here at a form for the way it should be sent in but when I went to ask for a copy of it I went off line and couldn't find it was I came back on here to look for it.

I was told that it could be 4 days to 2 more weeks till i get an answer. This is more nerve wrecking than the first time. I hear Aetna is fast. I guess we will see.

Hi,

My doctors office said some are getting approved in 24 hrs I will believe that when I see it.:puke:
