well.. I finally finished the AETNA 3 month pre-jummping-through-hoops thing, and all my info has been submitted.

Now I wait....

ugh.

I am sure the waiting is the hardest-- I am pre-op now, and with just a week to go, I can hardly wait.

Take good care of yourself in the meantime and get lots of reading in on your new lifestyle... use the wait time as an opportunity!!!

Best of luck!!

Hang in there, Dana. I actually just posted that my stuff got submitted today too. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you hear something soon.

Let's hope we BOTH hear something this week (maybe overly optimistic, but let's think positive LOL)

waiting is definetly the hardest part .. i can attest to that , my suggestion, after a week call the insurance company. that is what i did and i found out that i was approved. let me tell you teh previous week and a half was like a life time of waiting ... and wondering ... now i know my answer and the insurance company is faxing me a copy of the appoval. We all have to remember that this is the first stage to the new and improved us .... Maybe this is to help teach us patience :biggrin:

It's seems like all I've done is wait wait for my consult, wait for my surgical consult, for for the insurance approval, wait for the nutritionist consult, and now now at the end... wait for a surgery date, again I'm glad I'm committed to this. boy oh boy

Txcloverangel...good luck...I'm so excited for you!! Let me know how it goes with the approval! I have aetna, too, and I have 3 weeks left before my 3 month jump through the hoops act is done! I thought 3 months would never get here fast enough, and now it is only 3 weeks out! :biggrin:

I have aetna too and I am waiting......
