6 month diet requirement

Since I applied for surgery 2 years ago with Aetna and did a 3 month diet requirement (before obviously being denied), my UHC nurse proactively told me she'd look to get manager approval to use those months towards my 6 I need now since they were less than 2 years ago, along with any other months my PCP can prove we talked about diet and exercise. I'm VERY surprised by this, and I'm still waiting to hear back if that will be ok. If this goes through, I won't need to do any more PCP appointments...HOW FREAKING COOL WOULD THAT BE!?!? I really don't want to get my hopes up, but how could I not when it wasn't even my idea?!

Just like everyone else, I can't wait to be on the other side of all of this. It's all I think about every day. :) I might explode before I get my phone call! lol
