Hello to all:-) I am new here. I've had the app for awhile now, but have been too shy to actually sign up until today. So I just found out my paperwork was submitted to ins today. I have Cigna & am wondering how long the approval process can take. My dr's offi e said 2-4wks.

I give a big rasberry to the 2-4 wks. If the doc office say they submited the papers you call in the morning and see if Cigna has them. I have Cigna and they said they review that info within a couple of days.

Will do then!!! I have a hard time playing the waiting game.

Good luck! Hope it all goes through quickly bc I am so w u ... Waiting games not fun!

Omg...that is so good to hear....i have cigna too and my insurance should ne submitted tomorrow after.my last weigh in...im super excited! And dont want to wait another month

I called my Dr's office yesterday & verified it was sent & now I'm waiting for it to show up on Cigna's end.

?...during the 3 mth nutrition classes did anyone loss or gain? I did gain like 2lbs & now I'm worried. My BMI is 42.

I have CIGNA too and my Dr's office submitted yesterday. They said it usually takes a few days to hear back from CIGNA. I have heard it took weeks from others, but I guess the Dr's office knows best. Supposedly the coordinator at my doctor is going to call them tomorrow, which will mean CIGNA will have had my info for only about 2 days, and ask for expedited approval. My surgery is scheduled for Tuesday, July 31st. Has anyone else heard back from CIGNA this quickly? I don't want to change my surgery date, but they couldn't send out my packet before this week due to test results etc.

I did gain and lose throught the supervised diet program. However, when I started I was below my norm. Now during the preop I am sure I am losing a few lbs. My BMI is 36.

My advice is to call them regularly to check the status. I felt like my paperwork was sitting on everybody's desk until I started calling.
