:thumbup:I just called Aetna to check on the staus of my surgery and they just approved me an hour ago to have VSG on 4/20th! Don't know since it is such short notice if I can get it done that date, but I'm definately getting it done the week after. I'm so excited and nervous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yay for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm envious. I have Aetna, but I was told that due to the corporate plan we had, there was no way that WLS would ever be covered. 20 grand I wouldn't mind keeping, but oh well... health is more important than money.

Yup I must totally agree with you there ouroborous, health is so much more worth it then money. . . plus i think having paid for the surgery myself, has made me more aware of what i'm doing before i stick that piece of chocolate or something into my mouth. . .i paid $15,500 for this surgery, be damned if i mess up and gain even a single pound!

Congratulations!!!!! How exciting for you!!! Can't wait to see all your awesome "after" posts on your progress. What a blessing!!!
