I have a BMI of 37 one day 38 the next. I have been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea and hypertension. I have complted my consult with the surgeon, dietician, and psych evaluation done. I have completed the six month supervised diet. I have a letter of surgical nesessity from my GP and from my foot specialists, I will be getting another letter from the doctor that i weighed with monthly. I have requested my medical records, I have requested information form the sleep center. I feel as though there is something else I should be trying to do! Please tell me what I am missing! I want to make sure that my t's are crossed!!! Any advice will be very helpful! (Sorry about spelling)

It really depends on your insurance. I have fep blue and I just found the policy outline online and looked up my requirements there. Good Luck!! I am pre-op too and I am seriously obsessing too!!

I agree with Ashley I think it depends on your insurance. The best thing to do is contact them directly and ask for the requirements. Good luck!

Pre-op here as well. Surgery is scheduled for Monday!

I also have Cigna and I too want to do everything perfect to get a fast approval. Please tell me when you get you approval.

I submitted to insurance on May 11th, I finally was able to get an approval over the phone on May 26th (for the Lap Band). am now waitng for approval for VSG. I will keep ya posted!

As long as you provide everything they require, you should be approved!

Seems like you have everything! GOOD LUCK!
