The bariatric clinic just sent off my paperwork on Monday. I am a little nervous, and can't wait to see if I'm approved. I'm gonna call my insurance Friday to check the status. Can't wait to get my journey started!!!! Fingers Crossed!

Ok thanks keep me posted

Thanks everyone! I know waiting pain most of the time, but I have my fingers crossed for you all.

I'm going to call Aetna tomorrow and see where I stand. I hate, absolutely hate, the waiting game! My husband is deploying to Afghanistan the end of March and I wanted to be done and healed by the time he left! I'm praying it goes fast.

It's the same w/ me. I considered WLS a few yrs back and when I shared the news w/ my mom and sisters they tore into and I backed down. I don't plan on letting then know this time, my husband is the only one I'll be able to share with once I get my approval. I'm impatiently waiting also...
