@noonie did you call your insurance company or somewhere else? I called my surgeons office and they said they had submitted and even heard back from "care allies" asking information about me, but when I call my insurance they know NOTHING about my pre determination. HELP!!!

I called my insurance today and they said they havent heard or gotten anything from my surgeon yet and said It can take up to 30 days! I dont want to wait that Long! Im too impatient lol.

I have cigna (feds) and I gained during my 6 months but I was submitted last thursday so im hoping to hear good news soon! Good luck to you!!

Congrats girl!!!!

Thanks ladies! i hope i find out soon im so ready to have it done!

Hey all!!! My surgeons office submitted my info im thinking either last thursday or friday. Im just wondering how long it usually takes??? i've heard of people hearing back really soon like in a few days... im just REALLY anxious for a yes or a no... i want this so bad and the waiting seems like eternity!!!! Does anyone have cigna (NALC) federal insurance??? or cigna in general? i just wanna know how long it took for you to hear back from them?? Patiently waiting Krysti.

Thank you donny!!! How are you feeling? Im so ready to get either a yes you are approved or a no im denied but hopefully i get some good news. How long did it take you to findout if you were approved? Im so ready to start on this amazing journey.

thanks linda. any advice or information helps! good luck in your weight loss

Hello everyone!! Im new to vs talk so still trying to get the hang of how everything works. Here is my story: I'm 24 and I live in Waco, TX I've been overweight since I was little and slowly have been packing on the lbs. Im not confident with my body and it's time for a change. I've done all the fad diets, WW, Phentermine, weigh in with "diet" doctors & the gym religiously for years straight. I lost weight with Phetermine, but once i stopped taking it i immediately gained all of my weight back. I'm done with all these attempts at losing weight it's time to GET SERIOUS. I tried to get approved for lapband 1 or 2 years ago but didnt weigh enough for my insurance to cover it and i didnt have any co-morbidities. So i pretty much gave up after a year or so and 2 ectopic pregnancies and a lot of weight gain later i decided to give it another try. This time though i did my research and decided that lapband wasn't for me... I really looked into all the other options and came up with VSG. I went back into Dr. Kim's office (colleyville, tx) and weighed in and was immediately qualified to schedule my 6 months of weigh in's and NUT appointments!!! I have finished all of my 6 monthly weigh ins and NUT appointments. Dr. Kim's office sent off all my info to the insurance company either last thursday or friday.... and i am so anxious to hear back I am a little nervous because i wasn't so great on my 6 months of eating healthy. I did gain a few lbs and am not sure how picky my insurance company is... i know i know i should have been eating better and taking this more seriously, but life happens and all the stress that comes along with it. I just dont want to get denied because this is something that I really want. I want to be happier and healthier. Also, how long does it take to get approved? My surgeons office said 2-4 weeks which is long to wait and wonder but i've heard of other people finding out in 5 days.???? Does anyone have NALC insurance? a part of CIGNA (FEDS) and if so how hard/easy was it to get approved? Tell me your stories. Krysti
