I was approved today by Aetna and have a surgery date of 3-14. I am so excited and in shock, but have started to panic too.

Thanks for all the good wishes. After waiting and waiting, I can't believe it is here! Good luck to everyone else who has upcoming surgery. And to those that have already gone through this, stay close, we will probably have lots of questions for you and will need your support.

4nefertiti - I will be thinking of you on the 14th! Good luck.

yah i was feeling a bit apprehensive until the anesthesiologist said, "...here take a couple of deep breaths and then breathe normal......."

Congrats to you. I am to be banded the 19th. It took me a year to get approved with Aetna but since they approved me things are going real fast.
