No other health problems. My patient advocate isn't the best, unfortunately. She's told me things that weren't true and seems to be dillydallying with my paperwork. I had to talk to her boss to get her to do anything for me Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks for all your input! I have been doing my research for about 9 months now and I feel super prepared, just some conflicting stories to compare to the books I've read. (Sleeved life and big book on the gastric sleeve) some people say they feel full after "just a couple bites" so I wanted to put it in perspective. Thanks y'all!

I am preop, waiting for insurance to approve me. I am so excited about the prospect of eating 2 bites of food and feeling full. I could never imagine feeling that way right now after 2 bites. Am I being realistic, or am I delusional Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

How were you notified? I called Cigna to check my status and she said they would send me a letter in the mail. I'd like to know sooner than that! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm dying over here waiting on my approval from Cigna. I'm curious to know how you were notified (either approved or denied). I called again and they said it's still pending. She said they will notify me via mail. I really don't want to wait the extra 5+ days for a letter in the mail. I asked if they could call me, she said no. How did you find out?
