Hello everyone! My name is Lori. I am married with 2 boys (9 and 2). I have been a lurker for a few months. I have cigna insurance so I had the 6 month Dr. supervised weight loss hoop to go thru for insurance. I have had my psych eval. My last appt is 9-20 and then we submit for approval. I can't express how excited and anxious I am to have this done. I met with the surgeon yesterday to a consult (and to make sure I like him). I'm sure I will have lots of questions as I get closer to surgery date. I am shooting for sometime later October.

Welcome :thumbup1: this site is wonderful!

Welcome!! Good luck with your approval!

I'm in the same boat as you except with aetna. I have my last appointment sept 30. Good luck with the approval process and I hope it goes by quickly for you. I know the fear of failure and the excitement of success. We can do it with all the support we have found on this site!!!

Hi JC Mom! I too have Cigna. I did the 6 month was submitted and denied because my bmi was 39.6 and I had no comorbids. The very next day I went to my PCP and reweighed--got a letter from him also. Appealed! Took about a week but I got my approval yesterday! My sleeve is set for October 7th.

Thanks everyone!

Anna - I am so glad they finally approved you. Good Luck! I'm hope I will not get denied with a BMI of 46.

I also have Cigna and am shooting some time in October we may just be Sleeve sisters. Good luck with the hoop jumping and keep us updated!

That would be fabulous!! Are u waiting on your approval?

Let me know when you get your date!
