I'm just curious if there is anyone out there that received approval from your insurance (specifically Cigna) with a BMI under 40? I have a BMI of 36 and I'm nervous that I won't be approved even though Cigna states in my policy that is is possible to be approved if you are between 35-40 if you have at least one clinically significant comorbidity, which I only suffer from high cholesterol. I have been the same weight for almost 12 years now, exercise regularly and have been medically supervised for the past 2 years with no success! I'm super frustrated with my results and have found this to be my last resort and I'm super nervous that this will end with negative results as well. Someone please give me some positive news!

I do not have Cigna, but I read or had them read the requirements to me and I met the qualifications to the tee. My approval came quickly and I have a BMI of 36, with the required co morbidities.

I also have Cigna. My approval went very smooth. After my 6 months of pre op visits my doctor sent in all the paperwork and I was approved in 2 days. I just had my surgery on the 17th. My BMI was 35 but I have high colestoral , high BP, thyroid.

Good Luck Kathy
