I am in the 6th month of my weight loss program required by my insurance company Cigna. Today at my surgeons office I was told that Cigna has very recently changed from a 6 month requirement to only a 3 month medical supervised weight loss program to meet. I wish I would have had this info a few months ago- so of you are insured with them you might want to look into it! Hope this info helps someone else out!

Someone else on here also stated that they have expedited the approval process to 5 days also! I hope things go smooth for the both of us! ;)

I am going to my regular physician this morning for my medical clearance for surgery- and to pick up my weight loss records for my medically supervised diet. My nutritionist and my psyc eval were faxed over to my surgons office yesterday. This means once they get all my info- I get to schedule to see my surgon (hopefully in the next few weeks) once I meet with him- my info is sent off to Cigna for approval! I can't wait!

How about you?

I am going to my second weigh in with my pcp Thursday. Im plan on seeing my surgeon on 7/5, I've scheduled my psych and nut assessment for 7/18. I was waiting to schedule those appts for further down the line cause they are sort of expensive butttttt since Cigna changed from 6mo to 3 mo supervised weightloss I am rushing to get everything done so I can go in sometime in Aug.

Cigna was great, I had no problems with them. It took exactly 5 days to get my approval and my surgery is scheduled for Monday!!! Good luck.

I have Cigna and I just got a letter from them saying that the psyc said I was depressed so they might not pay her. Well I don't know where she went to school but when you ask someone about being picked on for being overweight their entire life and they cry that is a natural reaction not depression. I was wondering why she wrote that. Is that something Cigna looks for? Will it make it so I can't the the surgery?

My paperwork was submitted Friday. I called today and they have it but they said it could take 30 days for approval. :(

How do you get them to approve you in 5 days?

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
