I guess what makes me so optomistic is that in August of 2002 I went to the Bariatric Treatment to have a gastric bypass. Aetna approved me for that in less than a month! What the surgeons found out when they opened me up was that I have an abnormal rotation (basically my small intestine is backwards) in my small intestine so the part they need to bypass wasn't long enough, so they closed me back up and said sorry, there's nothing we can do for you.

So when I get this last letter from Aetna with there exception written on there I got really excited because I am a MAJOR exception to the rule! Only one out of like 4 million people have backwards intestines.

I'll keep you posted on what happens and hopefully be posting a surgery date within the next few months.
