That sounds slot easier than the clear liquid diet

Hopefully I can will get approved as fast as you. I have a bmi of 44, sleep apnea, and high blood pressure.

About how long does Cigna take to approve surgery once all requirements are met??

Good luck MicheleL!!

Omg I feel so relieved! I have been really stressing about this as my last nut appointment approaches. Thanks MrsRoboto!

So Radar u dont have to do a 2 week liquid diet??

Ok so I will be finished with my 3 month supervised weight loss program with my dietician and I have not lost any weight as a matter of fact I have gained a pound or two.I quit smoking 2 months ago and started snacking alot more. I am so nervous that my insurance (Cigna)will deny me because of this.

Thanks!!

Isnt the recovery time from surgery about two weeks. Thats an awfully long time be off work and not be paid. I dont know what Im going to do.

Good luck Jeffery.

Hang in there hubby I can only imagine how hard it is. Just look for the light at the end of the tunnel. It will all be worth it in the end!

Im so happy 4 u! I just completed my sleep study this morning. All I have left on my to do list is a meeting with my pcp next week a ekg on the 24th and my last nut appointment on the 25th. Im hoping to get sleeved by my birthday also which is 10/22! Im also having my surgery at U of C by doctor Pratchand.

I have my sleep study tonight. I am anxious to get it over with because Im almost sure I have sleep apnea and it I will almost be finished with my requirements!

Yeah I quit cold turkey on July 4th! Not one Black n Mild since. It hasnt been as hard as I thought even though I get lots of cravings at work when people light up. You can do it because it is definitely all worth it in the long run!

Yeah my insurance pays it in full and i pay my portion to them

You should start meeting with a registered dietician asap because most insurance policies require a 3 to 6 month supervised weight loss program.

My birthday is 10/22. It would be one hellava gift to be approved by then!

My sleep study is scheduled for 9/3 which will make me almost finished with requirements! Im sure I have sleep apnea I just hope this doesn't delay the process as I am impatient! Had my second of 3 Nut appointments today with just one left!

Just did my second Nut appointment. My last one is Sept. 25 and on to the approval process! Getting closer and feeling super anxious.

Im from Chicago and will be getting sleeved at U of C also hopefully by the end of October

I definitely understand you! What insurance do you have?

I cant wait to be where you are MicheleL! Im super excited for you

Im soooo anxious all I can do is think of my approval.

I have Cintra and was wondering if insurance will deny you if you dont lose weight while on the 3 or 6 month supervised weight loss plan?

Where are you from Chylyn7? Im from Chicago nice to meet you!
