Thanks Skinnygirlatheart. I'm on that same path. I was hoping it would be sooner but this is the beginning of week 4. Fingers and toes are crossed that I get it this week.

My paperwork was submitted Oct 4 and still no response from Cigna. I did call last week and was told by a CSR that it was "approved" but still pending. Huh? So I asked to speak with the Pre-determination department and was told flat out "it has not been approved...still pending :0( I hope to hear good news since they have kept me in suspense for so long LOL. Please keep me posted on your status...

Has anyone been told that only their surgeon's office can call to check the status of their approval/denial?

I think I was approved in 11 days. Then 6 months to complete all they required. Time goes fast though. Just make sure you keep your monthly appointments with the dr or you have to start over.

What??? I have Cigna and they told me the surgery was not covered. They were very mean to me and said they will not pay for my obesity :(

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
