Hello All

I had a hard time getting my approval sent in for some reason the office I went to had too many chiefs and not enough Indians. Went in today for nurse education class and last visit with my surgeon, explained my issues. He got up walked out came back said I was approved and the hold up will be dealt with. He wasn't happy how all the different stories I was given about my paperwork being sent to my insurance company. Sooo he asked if I wanted to have surgery tomorrow. Uggg yes yes yes. But not really I have to inform my honey and my help. So he's pushing for next week. For the first time my schedule is holding up progress. Lol. Sorry for the babbling but I'm soooooo excited. I started this process in April , stared actually dieting in June down 18 pounds and ready to rock.

Hi ladies! AA from Chicago. Thanks to you, so many questions that I've had have been answered on this forum! I've been through my 6 month process of dietician and nutritionist experts that my insurance NALC CIGNA PPO require, I've had my psych eval, now I'm waiting on approval! I was wondering if anyone knows how about how long is the insurance approval take after it's been submitted with this particular insurance?

I know nothing about Cigna, but I am from Chicago too! You might try the insurance forum down the page. There are usually quite a few posts about Cigna.

Thank you!

Good morning all,

One more day until the challenge begin. If you are trying to increase your weight loss - come on and joining in. It should be fun but challenging. Something to assist us all in making us stay accountable. It really important to me because my scale is stuck at 220!

This happens ALL THE TIME. The big myth is that everyone thinks the weight is going to fall off consistently. Not so much. I had a 12 day stall two weeks after my surgery. Basically your body is all like "hold up, what?!" But the weight will begin to come off again. Just follow the plan!

Good morning my losers benchers,

First, I was wondering how everyone is doing and how they managed to stay on track this weekend.

Secondly, I wanted to see if anyone is up for a challenge. In other weight loss groups, I know members from time to time did challenges to help keep each other accountable. So, I was wondering if one here would be willing to do a challenge with me. The rules of the challenge:

1. Set the Challenge and time frame for the group
2. On day one of the challenge, each individual reports (1) weight, and (2) weight loss goal.
3. Weekly the group report in with the following:
   • Weight
   • Where you are with the challenge
   • Your food intake

   • Obstacles/concerns

   • General thoughts
   • Questions
4. The members of the challenge provide positive feedback (only helpful - no negativity is allowed)
5. At the end of the challenge, we report our final weigh-in
6. if you don't reach the goal it is fine. The object of the challenges is to push ourselves a little more than normal.
7. progress pictures are welcomed

So,the challenge that I want to set is walking 100 miles. The challenge will last from August 1 - October 1(that's approximately 9 weeks and that's walking 11.11 miles a week). For all that agree we will report in every Friday on the above starting date of August 1.

I am in:

Weight: 221

Goal: 200 (lose 21lbs)
