  1. I am curious as to if you wen through and had success with having a tubal reversal after sleeve
  2. This is my first week out. My surgery was Friday. So I am on all liquids.
  3. Help I can't get my protein in. It is all so nasty and I don't feel hungry or thirsty. Any solutions?
  4. I had my surgery Friday but I still can't drink anything . When I do I just gag. I am extremely nauseated and full of gas. Any recommendations? What can I take for nausea?
  5. My surgery is today. I go in at 9. I am so nervous.
  6. I have a desk job and was wondering how soon after the sleeve until I can return to work? I don't want to take to much time off since no one knows I having the surgery.
  7. I am definitely relieved. Now if I can just get my appointment lol. I hope it doesn't take long for them to call me for a pre op appointment. :-/.
  8. I spoken with his insurance lady Devin on Friday. She said, she had received my approved letter. I was wondering how long after they receive my approval until I get an appointment to talk with Dr.Weiss? After my pre op appointment, how long until my surgery ?
  9. Anyone out there self paid? I have been fighting with Cigna for a year to get approval but still nothing. My health is getting worse and I am just ready to get on the track of a healthier me and better life. Are there anyway of getting a payment plan to self pay? I'd love to hear from people who have self paid.
  10. I am still waiting on my denial to be over turned, If I go ahead and pay out of pocket for my surgery, if my insurance pays for it will they reimburse me?
  11. Did u have the sleeve
  12. When did you start your process? That's who I originally went too. My insurance denied me back in June requesting a peer to peer here it is 3 months later and his office still has not schuduled it.
  13. Anyone know any good surgeons in ky
  14. Anyone know of good surgeons in kentucky
  15. Who are good baraitric Surgeon's in kentucky?
  16. Any one done an appeal for cigna? Can I do the appeal myself or does my doctor have to do it? What all will I need to submit an appeal?
  17. I have yet to hear from my insurance or surgeon's office as to what is happening. I know they denied for missing stuff and the patient advocate stated she had faxed it in. I hope to hear something soon.
  18. Thank you, I sure hope so.
  19. She said, she had not received the letter yet. She was suppose to resend in the documents though. I'm going to call Cigna tomorrow and see what they have to say
  20. I heard from Cigna today stating I was denied because they did not receive my 3 month diet or other physician recommendation. They said they was now waiting on my surgeon office to set up a peer to peer? What does this mean and what do we have to do now bc I have completed those and had faxed them over to my surgeon along with all of my other stuff, I'm not sure if they lost it or what. I am devastated. If they do a peer to peer will I likely have a higher chance to be approved ? Will this push back my surgery that is set for august 28?
  21. I heard from Cigna today stating I was denied because they did not receive my 3 month diet or other physician recommendation. They said they was now waiting on surgeon office to set up a peer to peer? What does this mean and what do we have to do now bc I have completed those and had faxed them over to my surgeon, not sure if they just forgot to fax then over or what happened. I am devastated! !
  22. I'll let you know as soon as I get a response. I called today and it is pending.
  23. I know...the fact that I have a date and it's in the near future makes me sick to my stomach and very eager to have a response from my insurance. I sure hope I get my approval.
  24. Just got off the phone with cigna. They stated it was submitted on the 22 which was last Monday. It is still pending. She did tell me it was an impatient sugery pending for august 28th so I take it if I'm approved that's my date. Fingers crossed I'm approved soon. I was hopeful to have it sooner than august but completely satisfied with august now.
  25. It's nerve wracking, isn't it? My info was supposedly submitted on 6/19 and my surgeon said approval should only take 2-3 days. I haven't heard anything yet and I jump every time the phone rings. yes it is very nerve-wracking I called Cigna this morning they stated they received it on the 22nd she did tell me that it look like it was pending for inpatient surgery on August the 28th so falls approve it looks like my date to August the 28th . Hope I get approved soon
