Approved!

I got word from Aetna that I am approved after only 6 days! I was worried it would take alot longer or something would be wrong. Now, next Tuesday 16th I have my pre surgery testing, upper GI, EKG, bloodwork and Xray. If all of those come back fine, I will finally be scheduled for surgery. I'm hoping for the week of May 6th or 13th. I started this journey in November of last year with an information session at the South Mississippi Surgical Weight Loss Center in Ocean Springs. Everyone there has been remarkable. I'm so excited but also terrified, the surgery is real now, if that makes any sense.
