I have Cigna insurance here in Connecticut. I had to see the psych (3), the nutr(6) and other appointments to see if I may have sleep apnea and was anything wrong with my heart. I have co pays at all of those. Each time it was $24. The day of surgery my co-pay to be admitted for surgery was $350. I have Aflac insurance as well, so I am getting some money back for the hospital stay.

Seriously Cograts! I am one week post op and I am not the nicest person to be around. My neighbors wanted me to go to their party, but I am on liquids and I am so hungry! The sight or smell of food drives me crazy! lol Anyways Congrats that is a huge accomplishment :-)Good Luck! I am going under tomorrow too. We will be fine...and skinny in no time :-)I feel the exact same way. I am not hiding the fact that I am having this surgery, because I know that I have exhausted all other resources to losing weight. I am more ashamed of losing the weight and gaining it back over the years of me trying to defeat the bulge. I am scheduled for surgery on Janurary 31. I am excited that this tool will help me get my life back.Congrats! I am going in the following Monday. You will be fine :-)I am so happy and excited! I got the call today that Cigna approved my Sleeve surgery! I really thought these past 6 months would go in vain! My surgery is scheduled for Janurary 31st. I am not even nervous about the surgery. The way feel, they could of did the surgery today! lolI am scheduled for surgery on Jan 31st. If all goes well with my insurance! I have Cigna, so I am hoping I will be sleeved on that day!I had to do the same as Anio. i saw the surgeon on thursday. I am awaiting approval.I am glad that you shared your experience about the quantity of food you cn now eat. I ma so looking forward to that! I find it reallty interesting that you can now "taste" how bad the foods you used to eat.You sound like me. I didnt have a reduction, but I wouldnt mind if the "gilrls" were to go down. I am more scared of my bottom going some where!LMAO!
