Great -- No Wonderful News !!!!!

[Guest guest]

Hello Everyone:

I'VE BEEN APPROVED !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got a call from Dr. Elariny's office yesterday afternoon to tell me that

Aetna had approved my WLS ... and now I " m waiting for the hospital to

schedule my DS for November 8th. I am so excited I could hardly sleep last

night.

The paperwork was sent to Aetna on Thursday, August 16th. Aetna called with

the verbal notification of approval on Tuesday, August 21st, but so late in

the day that Mohammad didn't get me at work .. he did call me at work

Wednesday morning about 9:15 ... I could hardly contain my excitement but I

managed.

I'm not telling anyone in my office about my WLS, so I had to be as low key

as I could manage. I'm having DS by lap and expect to be back at work in two

weeks, so there's no reason for them to know. I had my hip replaced last

winter and was out for six weeks ... but it was a life changing procedure ...

as I'm sure that WLS will be.

I'm sure as I calm down and get closer to November 8th, I have a million

questions for all of you .. but right now I just wanted to share the

wonderful news.

Thanks to everyone for the encouragement and the information.
