Hey All! I'm Jen and am having my surgery with Dr. Fielding in NYC. I had my consult with the Dr today and am scheduled for surgery on August 3rd. Office said I should hear about insurance within a week, so fingers crossed! I've heard horror stories about CIGNA, but the patient coordinator said I had everything I needed so here's hoping! Can't believe it's only a month away! I start my all liquid diet on July 20th and have pre-surgical testing on July 30th. Yipee!!

Hello! My name is Jen and I've recently begun this process. I'm in month two of the Dr. supervised weight loss program...annoying thing is that I can't actually lose too much weight or I'll dip below the BMI threshold. I'm 36 years old, 5'7 1/2 and 271 pounds. I'm not nervous about surgery at all, wish I could have it tomorrow! Frustrating that I have to postpone any weight loss in order to get insured. I have CIGNA PPO and I've heard they're tough on insuring, so I don't want to cut any corners. Like many people on here, I've been overweight since I was a child and am looking forward to the day I have a normal BMI!
