My case manager was Kristina and I am with Cigna.

I was banded on 4/8/09 and used Dr. Frank Felts. I went through Lapband Solutions and they handled everything for me. All I had to do was give them my insurance information and they took care of all of it. Even when I was denied they handled all my appeal paper work and everything and go me approved. I loved my surgeon and his staff. Dr. Felts does all my fills...I never have to worry about a nurse doing it. www.lapbandsolutions.com Good luck!! Dawn

I did not have to lose a certain amount of weight before Cigna approved me. In fact, I think I only lost like 3-4 pounds in the 6 months.

I just went through the same thing with Cigna. You will need to start with March, otherwise they will deny your surgery. They try to make it as difficult as possible to make you give up! But don't it is definitely worth it!!! I'm so happy I stuck with it! Hang in there!!

I just got out of the mushies stage. My favorite thing to eat was mashed up avacados. I also did refried beans and laughing cow light cheese. Good luck!
