I received a phone call from my surgeons office this afternoon. They received approval from the insurance company.. I've been working with these same people for two long years for this moment. The coordinator said she got goosebumps when she read that I had been approved. After being denied (including appeals) by Aetna last year, I thought I would never see this day. Two full bariatric surgery work ups, 1 insuance denial and a whole lot of tears.. I will finally receive my band on 11/23/2011.

Wow, this gives ME goosebumps too. I am so happy for you. Two years is way too long, but your hard work and efforts paid off. Now, put as much dedication into the band and you'll be just as happy with the results!! Congrats, couldn't be prouder for you :-)

Congrats!

For the second half of your journey I am wishing you Speedy Weightloss! CONGRATS!!!!

That is awesome!!! Congrats!!!
