Thanks for replying! What part of the process are you on... And how long has each taken?

Well I had my dr appt today to start the ball rolling. She said she definitely thinks I will be approved with insurance at least. Tests start tomorrow and she will submit paperwork with results and information on leg surgeries and documented diet with medifast. Prayers needed!

Oh no!!!

How did the process with asking for approval go? I was 137 lbs my whole life as I played college softball. I then had reconstructive surgery on ankle and knee and now 7 years later weigh 235. My BMI is 40 and I am praying Cigna in California approves this. But what do I need to get approved??

Hi everyone! I am new to this whole forum but was hoping someone could fill me in on the step by step process from dr appointments to tests etc. I have my first doc appointment and physical tomorrow.

With an approval from Cigna what was your ou of pocket? If I may ask?

Hi everyone! I am going to my initial dr appointment with my doctor on Friday. How long was the process for you from start to op day? I also have Cigna and am nervous about approval though. I was a college athlete until 2005 and then I had reconstructive knee surgery and ankle surgery after injuries from my sport. My BMI is now 41, and I hope the lap band is an option for me.
