Aetna Approved!

I am scheduled to be banded on 3/31.

My surgeon Dr. Geiss submitted to Aetna for approval on 3/4.

I called Aetna every day (!!) to check on the status of the authorization, and I found out they approved it this morning (3/10) !

I am so excited!

T-20 days!!

    Congrats! Aetna approved me too. I have surgery on 3/17. I was approved in 2 days. It was really quick. I'm starting the 3 day preop today. I cheated ALREADY. I had a waffle for breakfast, but from here on out today; it will be the strict, oatmeal, grits, soup, water thing all the way up until surgery. Can't wait!! Keep us posted.
