I have so many different feelings built up inside me I just want to cry. Cigna told me it was because of my bmi which is 37.5. But with Cigna it states they will approve based on a bmi between 35-39.9 with one comorbidity or more and I have high blood pressure as well as a heart condition. You would think they would want to help me. Right? Now they are saying my doctor needs to request a peer to peer review. Has anyone else experienced this and what is the normal outcome and length of time? Thank you all for being there and listening to me vent. I appreciate it.

OMG I too have Cigna...this is horrible that they put us through this...I have one more apt for my consecutive 3 in a row with two comorbities and a BMI of 36.9. I have been denied due to lack of doctors appointments and should have all of this done by June 16th...wish me luck...

I almost have a bmi of 70 and they denied me. Because it wasn't "necessary", even though I have HBP. Go figure, i appealed it and the insurance company approved it after a few months. Surgery is tomorrow morning

Mine is 50. I hope they don't pull the usual crap. How they don't have more people busting in with high powered weapons on a daily basis just amazes me. Hell they give me the run around with their mail order prescription thing on a regular basis. I blame them for my Hpb for the stress they put me under. That and the extra 150 lbs I have
