Hello all. I need all the prayers you guys can send my way. I've had a very intense week ( and is only Wednesday). Starting by the fact that the cardiologist took forever to give me the clearance and of course I was thinking the worse, having a surgery schedule for December 27th I was hysterical. Things got better yesterday evening when FINALLY the

cardiologist and the PCP sent the paper to my surgeon. This morning I called the surgeons office to make sure everything was in order and the coordinator informed me that the paperwork was going to be submitted today but that he can't guarantee that I will get approved before the 27th, that most likely my surgery was going to be postponed. OH LORD HAVE MERCY I already asked for time off ( they approved me cause is low season) and I already have everything ready for the 27th ???? Please pray for me to get the Approval on time. I really need the surgery.. By the way I have Cigna.. Any experience you would like to share??? How long does it take to get Approved ??

Just keep calling your insurance company, and if they tell you it's approved call the surgeon's office immediately and schedule. Don't want to get lost in the shuffle....Good luck!

Thanks a lot Traci. I will give them a week, I will start calling them next Wednesday.

Also please if you have Cigna, share your experience. Thanks
