The surgeon's office let me know everything was sent for approval today. Fingers and toes crossed. Hopefully this is the beginning to the end of the waiting. . . . . . .

i did the three months supervised diet with my doctor. he was so cool. he dictated my letter right in front of me and stopped recording to ask me what else they needed. even though i did the three months with my pcp, cigna still denied me because i didn't see a nutritionist (even though their requirements say either, or). so i had to see the nutritionist too and resubmit. then they approved me. it is such a pain in the a##. best of luck to you. i know it may not seem like it now, but the next 2 months will be over before you know it.

So the program I'm doing is with a NUT not my PCP so do I think that's acceptable?

yes, it's either or, but they prefer the nutritionist.
