I am sorry! I had the same experience with Aetna. Your surgeons office should be able to help you with the appeal process but be prepared to wait. Your doctor can schedule a pier to pier with an...

Congrats! That is AWESOME!

Yep! Down 59 pounds from 271 and OMG! Marathon nights with the BF! Crazy!!! :)

Congratulations Linda. Wishing you a speedy recovery! All the best & welcome. :)
