Hello - as of tomorrow 4/14/10, I will be done with ALL my requirments asked of Cigna. My question is - I was referred by my OBGYN not my PCP to get the LapBand. I called to get my referral letter from my OBGYN because I have polycystic ovarian syndrome. Does anyone know it that would be exceptable? I see my OBGYN more then I see my PCP. She's the one who has sent me for blood work for my weight gain and she's been the one montioring my weight for the past few years. I'm hoping that this will be ok. Getting really nervous about submitting my paper work to Cigna and getting denyed. I've done all that Cigna has asked and I meet all the requirments. I just hope that it all works out. I'm having such anxiety about it all. :thumbup:

I don't know for sure, but a doc is a doc in my opinion. Your OB/GYN has the history of your weight in a medical setting. Those are official medical records. Many women see their GYN more than their PCP.

That should count.

But, that is my humble opinion, which I am sure means nothing to Cigna.

Best wishes to you!

i am sure everything's going to be alright....be patient, plus i see you've got everything organized, so i don't see why you are anxious, dont'be. goodluck!!!:cool:

Thank you girls! You both made me feel so much better! I called the nurse at my OB/GYN and they are putting a letter together for me. As of 5:30 pm today - my life is about to change!!! I can't believe it's ALL done!! It's been a long 9 months. :cool:)

Yay!!!

I just thought of something else. If they balk at the OB/GYN, you can have your records transfered to PCP and have PCP write the letted based on those records.

Then the letter comes from PCP!

Best wishes, keep us posted!

Good idea. Thanks!! I'll keep you posted!!
