Getting denied is the pits, I was denied in January. Cigna changed their guidelines in June, and on a whim I decied to contact the center in August, they resubmitted and in a week I had an approval and was banded less than 30 days later! 28 to be exact! Good luck!

I had a problem with my insurance company in January, they DENIED me , I was shocked. I called the surgeon back in August they resubmitted everything and I was approved. It seems I hadnt been fat long enough in January. BUT they changed the guidelines in June and I was approved in August. I just got my band on september 16th, and im doing very well. Lost 7.5 pounds in the past 5 days.
