Called Cigna today and bad news! Im denied. They are requesting a peer review with my doctor. Has anyone with the same issue and was approved after the medical peer review?

Kadive sorry to hear about your denial but I want to encourage you to keep going because it will turn out okay. I was denied for a lapband by Cigna back in early June. They did not request a peer review but I wrote a formal letter of appeal and last week I was given a decision of which procedure I wanted to proceed with! Now I have options and I am going with sleeve. I was down for awhile but GOD knows that now it seems to all be working on in God's timing. I love this site! The information and support is unbelievable and I am learning something new almost daily. I am sure someone will give you more information relating to a PEER REVIEW. Wishin you all the best and can't wait to hear the good news

Amen! Thanks for you support

Bummer. I'm sorry to hear about the denial, but don't give up hope. Your doctor may still be able to persuade them. Did they give you exact reasons for your denial? I would look through the reasons if they did and try and find counterpoints to them so that you can appeal after if needed.
