I was approved by Aetna today!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Everyone,

I was approved by Aetna POSII this morning. I was so excited and full of emotions I cried I was so happy. This has been a long journey for me. I started it on January 8th. Went on the New Direction Diet and I am still going. I didn't want to quit until Aetna approved me on my three month pre-surgical diet. Last week it seemed like Aetna was dragging their feet so this is what I did. I sent them a list of diets I did along with the months and how much weight I lost. I also sent them a copy of my diet underlineing everything they wanted on their three month presurgical diet. I also took their clincal policy underlined their requirements for a three month diet and faxed it all to them. If Aenta is dragging their feet show them their policy. I think they forget sometimes. Well I am so excited I am finally going to be a bandster to! I worked long and hard. I went to weekly weigh-ins along with seeing my PCP monthly. I attened nutrition classes weekly. Spent a ton of money for this diet but in the end my life is priceless. I won't die at the age of 40 like my aunt. I will be around to see my daughter grow up. That's really important since I am a single Mom. So everyone going for the surgery. I know the hoops seem unfair but in the end it is worth it. No matter how hard you have to fight don't give up!!!! I got approved my first go around because I followed everything to a T! That is the key. Don't give up! Good Luck to everyone~~~

OH BOY!!!!!

Congrats!!!
I was also approved today by Aetna POS II!

The only hoop I had to go through was getting the sleep doctor to give the surgeon the sleep study results from 2 months ago.. Oh and that the doctor's office dragged their feet submitting it in the first place.
