Recommended Posts

The coordinator just called and let me know that I was approved!!! She said she had a bunch of people waiting for her with appointments etc. but she wanted to let me know that the approval went through and she would be calling me back later to schedule the surgery etc.

So excited, just had to share! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

So great! I have Cigna too and sure hope I get approved. I wonder what would cause one not to get approved if you meet all the requirements they are asking for?

How long did it take for Cigna to approve once submitted to them?

ONCE all the requirements were met to Cigna's satisfaction (Friday), I was approved today (Monday). But, we went several weeks back and forth with Cigna on technicalities. I was denied twice and then had to have a Peer to Peer. Cigna was a real stickler, believe it or not, on the letter from my primary care physician.

Good luck to you, I'm sure all will go smoothly for you. A word of advice, make sure the letter clearly states that you are "cleared for surgery". My PCP did 2 letters that were rejected but we got it right the 3rd time(always a charm).

I have Cignas indemnity plan (international) which covers the procedure. They told me they want a 6 month record of a diet plan in compliance with a physician, do you submit a daily record or monthly record of the diet? :wacko:

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
