Aetna Approved! (fed high option open access)

After bawling my eyes out last night (and a week and a half wait that felt like a month and a half) I finally got the courage up to get my husband to call Aetna (I'm such a wimpy chichensh#t). I was worrying after reading people getting disapproved for minor inconsistancies like height at the surgeons office (barefoot measuring) different from height at the pcp's office (they just ask) and other problems like 3 days short on supervised diet, not being over 40 bmi for 2 years, etc... I just knew I would not get approval. Hubby called for me this morning and I'm approved! Now I can start to prepare...buy the Protein, gas strips, etc. Yay! I'm jumping through the roof! Gonna go buy some new comfy jammies and celebrate! Gonna call my surgeons office and drive them nuts later this morning as well!

Of course...reality will set in and I will start to worry about the actual surgery, complication, etc,...oh well, that's just me( I have to have something to worry about). But...for now I am elated!

Thank you God for blessing me!

congrats on your surgery. I remember the morning i got the call when i didnt expect. I called the insurance office but they were closed due to the holiday. But right after i hanged up with the dietician from the surgeons office the phone ringed back. I thought they forgot to tell me something, but it was the nurse calling to tell me that i was approved and to set uo my preop appts. I was soooooo excited that day, well all week rather that i couldn't sleep at night.
