I'm getting excited and really starting to think this might happen. I've had the sleep study, 4 nutrition classes, and psyche eval. Everything was shipped off to Aetna PPO along with prior medical records on 27 May. In 15 business days or less I should know Aetna's decision. It's not really a question of approval, more a question of what else do they want. Next milestone will be consult and scheduling!

I really appreciate the good work by the members of this board. I don't post much, but I read a lot! Maybe that will change post-op...

Exciting times ahead for you I hope.... good luck. Keep us informed how you get on.

Good luck !!!!

I'm approved! July 12th. I have no idea how much my out of pocket is which is scary. Well, it's all scary, but so is diabetes, coronary artery disease, stroke, and a host of other things. No room needed on the loser's bench because I hope I'm too busy:biggrin0:

CONGRATS ON YOUR APPROVAL. Hopefully I'll be there in the next 6 to 8 weeks.

Congrats on your date - as far as the cost to you is concerned, try offsetting it against the money you'll save on food long term......thats what I did with my husband, (although I didn't mention the fact I would need a WHOLE new wardrobe! :biggrin0:).

Good Luck and Congratulations!
