Submitted today!

After months of getting ready for this day it is finally here. I received my psych evaluation form yesterday and today my coordinator will be submitting my packet to Aetna! I pray that I'm one of those lucky ones who knows the verdict within a matter of a couple days. I'm pretty sure I won't be sleeping until I know!! #onestepcloser

    I just got my phone call this afternoon. Aetna sent my approval over to the surgeons office this morning. I have an appointment tomorrow to schedule surgery. It took them about a week to get it do

My starting BMI was 46 and yes I had 2 years of weigh-in from this phentermine and b 12 diet I did back in 2010 and 2011. My bmi those years was just about 40

I'm so happy for you. Have you scheduled yet? I'm on 5/11

I called my coordinator this am and it's going to be the 18th or 19th...she will call me by this evening with the exact date and time!

Congratulations! Exactly how many days did it take for Aetna approval?

Ok thanks so much! I have pre-op class tomorrow along with weigh in so I'm just trying to stay below my starting weight so there's no net gain. I was 3.5 lbs under last week but just got my "monthly friend" and I usually gain four to five pounds during that so I'm stressing. Trying to keep my calories low until this appt is over!

Thank you! I appreciate your encouragement! Good luck and congrats again.
