OMG! OMG! OMG!

I just found out that insurance (Aetna) has approved my surgery!

YEEEAAAAA!!!

My VSG surgery is scheduled for Monday, Sept. 13th! I'm so excited!

I start my 2 WEEK LIQUID DIET TODAY. That part I'm not so excited about. But that's okay. I know it's a minor price to pay for the great things to come. I've been researching and wanting to get WLS for 2 years! I originally was going to get the Lapband but had to put it off because I needed 2 yrs documented weight history. During that time I found out about the sleeve instead and Aetna's decision to cover it a few months back. I guess everything does happen for a reason. :001_cool:

Okay, I'm off to pick up some supplies.

Thanks for listening...well, reading.

I hope you all have a fantastic day! :thumbup:

Congratulations ~ so happy for you!!! The countdown begins . . . .best of luck to you!!!

As someone who had the band for 5 years, feel blessed you didn't get one! Congrats on your approval!

Congratulations, I'm so happy for you it is so exciting. September 13 that is right around the corner. Keep us posted.

Congrats. We can feel the excitement in you. Good luck on the pre-op diet it can be challenging, but doable. Best wishes on your surgery.

Yippeeee! That is great, congratulations! You are gonna love it!

Congratulations!!! I use to have Aetna and had tried to go through them for the lap band and it has several hurdles you had to jump to get approved. Can't wait to hear your results....I am currently waiting on my insurance United Health to make a decision. I was told "no problem" just have the doc send us a predetermination, but I will get excited when i get the go ahead from them.

Congrats!! We are sleeve sisters! My date is the 13th too. :001_tongue:
