Well my surgeon submitted my package today to Cigna for approval...hopefully I will hear something soon. Does anyone have any recent experience with Cigna and their response time?

My BMI is 40 also and I am hearing the same thing from my co-workers...their like what? You don't look big enough to have WLS...I guess it's just the misconception that you have to super obese and not be able to move before you should consider this route! However they are wrong I have struggled all my life with weight loss, lose a few pounds here and gain it back there! I hope and pray that this I'd the end and I can finally feel normal even though I'm not sure what normal feels like...lol

Yes I would love a copy please email to christa.McKee@sbcglobal.net

Hi I also have Cigna open access, and my Bmi is right at 40, as the policy reads you can still be covered without a comorbit...if you are 40 or greater...now I have just been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the hips and knees with I understand to be considered by cigna as a comorbit...I'll keep you updated on the progress.

I too have Cigna and my Bmi is right at 40, during the 6 month diet if I lose weight that puts me under 40 will they send me denial letter?

Just trying to find out if anyone out here has gotten approval from Cigna with a BMI right at 40? My surgeons office has verified that I have the benefits without co mob..withBMI >40!!!
