Hi, I just joined the forum tonight I'm glad that I found it!

I live in MD, have Aetna and would like to have band surgery. I had pretty much given up on the idea of Aetna paying for it and decided to go to Mexico to have the surgery done. After reading Alexandria's messages, she has given me new hope!!! I would much rather have this done in the states but out of pocket cost are above by head.

I've started getting all my info together for Aetna... look out 'cause here I come Aetna!

Hi Maudi,

More power to you! The more of us who pick at Aetna the sooner they might ditch that silly investigational/experimental exclusion. In the meantime, welcome!

Thanks Alexandria, I've already started getting all my info together... they will have to give in sometime, NOW seems like a good time to me!

In my area of the country, which is southeast Texas, the phrase to use seems to be "I have sleep apnea."

Hi Maudi just wanted to say welcome and good luck!
