I'm APPROVED!!!

Well finally I have been officially approved for surgery!! YAY ME!! But as with anything it was a 2 day rollercoaster. Wednesday, Jay, called me at work to read my denial letter to me. Yes, I said denial letter. Apparently all these weeks my insurance coordinator had been sending my paperwork to the wrong fax number, so Aetna denied my surgery for lack of paperwork. I WAS PISSED!!!! to say the very least. So from 10am until 4 I blew her office phone up. First with nice," please call me back its important" messages which led into messages more my style, "whats the problem here, do I need to come to your office and help you with this" messages. Finally at about 4 she called me back and told me what had happened and had apparently been frantically trying to rectify the situation all day.. LOL she guaranteed I would have a decision by Friday (today) and so yesterday morning at 10 she called to tell me I had been approved!! Much better news. My aunt told me not to worry,that everything would work out and sure enough it did. I have a tentative date in November but my paperwork is now in the hands of the scheduler. She supposedly takes about 2 weeks going through my file with a fine tooth comb to make sure I havent missed any testing or classes and when all doctors involved are happy I get my bloodwork and date. So we are definately looking at November. I did the "I'm going to be skinny dance all around my office yesterday!!!" So it looks like there will be no turkey for me at Thanksgiving, but I am TOTALLY ok with that. I can't travel for 6weeks after the surgery so I think we will probably be staying home for the holiday. I can't wait to make a grand enterance at Christmas. I know thats not a huge amount of time but I have a feeling everyone will still be able to see some progress. I will post pics before and possible every month after. It really depends on how rapid of a change I make. I feel so good about the change that is coming. Just thought I would let everyone know the good news. Talk at ya later!!
