I got my approval letter after TWO appeals with Cigna. The Obesity Law Center did the appeals for me for no charge - Allergan pays this fee. This process took almost a year. I had missed my six month weight loss because my months weren't exactly consecutive - I actually had 8 mos but missed a month inbetween so they were going to make me start all over again. Plus my nutritionist/psychologist said I wasn't ready because I wasn't eating like I had the lapband yet. (?) Anyway, now I have to call the doctor to set up a date. This is getting to be real now. Took long enough!
