I am so happy and excited! I got the call today that Cigna approved my Sleeve surgery! I really thought these past 6 months would go in vain! My surgery is scheduled for Janurary 31st. I am not even nervous about the surgery. The way feel, they could of did the surgery today! lol

Congrats. I have Cigna also and I felt the same way while jumping through their hoops. Once my packet was sent from my surgeon to them it only took about 3 days to get the approval. I had my surgery this past MOnday, came home yesterday and today a lady from Cigna called to check on me.

yep seems like cigna is the best for covering this and getting it approved fast.. I sent all my information in on monday and got approved by Friday..February the 1st for me. I got approved in late november and I just had a incredible time getting of Cigs..Smoking is really hard to break ..but this is all behind me now and I am looking forward to my new life..

Congrats! I had Cigna too but it was a little harder for me to get approved since I had a revision. You will love the sleeve! I am so happy for you!

I am working with Cigna now. What kind of weight loss program or thing did you do for the 6 month supervised stuff. Did your Dr. just have a form that had to be filled out? I have done it all except, I'm at the end of month one of the diet stuff...aaarrggghh!!! Any advise? Thanks, Tracy

      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!
