  1. Thank you 2muchfun. That is what I heard as well and what has me worried. The doctor told me if I am too stuffy I would need an unfill.
  2. Thank you so much lisacaron. That is very helpful and great advice. I really appreciate it.
  3. Can anyone who has seasonal allergies please tell me if you have issues with your band durning allergy season? My doctor said drainage can clog the band and this worries me a bit. I take an allergy pill and nose spray daily and wake up a little stuffy most mornings but am fine about mid morning. I do have drainage at times and I am wondering will this clog the band.
  4. I got my date and I am a getting banded on March 18th. I have my pre op appointment on the 6th and will find out about what my doctor wants me to do for a pre op diet then. So excited and nervous as well.
  5. It took about a week and I am approved. My surgery dated is March 18th. So excited and nervous as well.
  6. Did anyone who has Cigna gain weight while they were seeing the nutritionist and waiting for incurance approval? I had my first nutrition apt at the beginning of November and my last one will be in February and my weight has fluctuated the entire time (up and down). My BMI is 43 and my coordinator or counselor has not said anything to me about the weight gain and if this would be a factor in my insurance approval. I look up Cigna's policy and I don't see where it says anything about this. Anyone else have this situation and can let me know what their outcome was? Thanks!!!
