Submitted To Cigna Today!



Recommended Posts

Well got denied. They said something is missing. The advocate at the surgeon's said not to worry. Have to resend and hopefully hear next week. Of course it wouldn't be easy for me. that's the way my life goes. Feeling kinda down right now. I hate waiting. :(

Mommybo, I have Cigna and the first time my paperwork was submitted, it was denied. It seems that wrong codes were submitted. I wish you luck and good health on your journey.

I think that this is probably common, that maybe something was overlooked or maybe a wrong code (aka cpt medical code for the procedure). Still praying for you! I belive this will work out! *Fingers crossed*

Gah! I wish, I got bumped another week, so now its Dec 5. I almost had a meltdown when the office told me that...but now its just a week away. #Nerves!

Our pre-op is very different, basically can have Protein and veggies up until 24 hrs before surgery, and then Clear liquids 24 hrs before, nothing after midnight night before...

I just get worried that I am not loosing enough (only down about 4 lbs since starting preop diet). The doc never gave me a number to loose, just said follow the diet. :S I guess in that regards i'm much luckier than some others who have to do liquid only for 2 weeks!

*sigh* just kinda want it to be here already so I can stop stressing sooo much about it.

It'll be here and over before you know it. My surgeon is the same way. liquids for just 24 hours the day before. I actually gained during this whole process, it's been so hard with quitting smoking!! I'm sure you'll do great. Keep me updated. 6 days left!

Will defintely keep you updated. Thank goodness I quit smoking when I was pregnant and didn't pick it back up, I know that is such a struggle for many people (including some of my siblings). I think that we will be just fine, as long as I just get through the next few days.

When is your surgery? Or have they told you yet since your approval?

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

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
