Aetna denied me and i had to write my own letter. apparently my doctor's letter with my medical history, diet history was not enough. I took matters into my own hands, i wrote an extensive letter and told my doctor he had to sign it! and that's what happened. so i got approved and i'm being banded on august 13!

don't you just hate aetna?

don't you just hate aetna?

Lets just say I was thinking of making some little dolls and getting a big box of straight pins...........

But right now, I can't stop grinning, :whoo:so its hard to 'hate' anybody or anything!

With the possible exception of protein shakes -- I'm really starting to hate them and it's only been four days!:cry
