March 19th but I'll be at overlook bc my doctor is in summit.. I'm from your sisters area also. Where r you from?

I'm from jersey-somerset county. Dr. Goyal is doing my surgery.

That's great! Congrats! since your sleeve you've lost 38 lbs? I'm scheduled in 2 weeks.. I'm sooo nervous. How was your expiernce? how are you feeling now and right after surgery?

What an inspiration you are and you look amazing! Congratulations on your success and thanks for sharing your story and photos.

That's amazing!! Congrats!! I hope I have much success like you.

I am so deeply sadden and sorry to read your story!

Hey there.. Did Cigna say why they denied you both times?

I have Cigna too.. I've completed all requirement too and am waiting for an answer. Im so nervous bc I hear Cigna is pretty tough! Why were denied did they say?

Best of luck to you both!!

Thank u so much!

Thanks so much! Fingers crossed.

Wow thanks for the info!! So what r the chances of getting an approval for predetermination? Does it mean that the actual prosedure (sleeve) is covered and they need to determin the hospital covered costs now?

BABE I hope it works out for u too.. I feel like I'm In the same boat as you. the waiting is torture! I think I may call Cigna myself today n see what's going on. I called last week and the girl started out being klnice then the. Went into being firm and a little nasty and just trying to get me off the phone. She said there's nothing they can do to speed up the process m it can take 45 business days. Ugh!

That's great! Does anyone know what's the difference between getting an authorization or pre determination?

Thanks for the info! I am freaking out lol. Aside from the over 6 month waiting period being torture waiting for an answer is beyond torture! Do you know anyone who was approved by cigna the first time?

I was originally told 30 days also but when I called Cigna my self they told me 30-45 business days.
