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.

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.

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