Hello guys, hope you're having a fantastic week. If some of you are in my exact situation "waiting for insurance approval" lets find comfort in each other and share our story... My paper were submitted to Cigna last Wednesday 12/12/12 and yesterday the surgeons coordinator called to request a Diet History that the insurance company is asking for... I think is a good sign ... What do you think??

Yay Marie! I certainly hope its only 2 days. I want to get this over and done with! lol.

I know exactly how you feel . I been in this process since March 2012. Lets keep our fingers crossed!!!

I'm herewith you all, waiting for approval....

I am a Triwest patient. I still have 3 months to go before they submit all of my information.

I have one more month before my stuff is submitted, so I'm looking at prob another 2 1/2 months before I actually HAVE surgery. Meh.....

I have to do a 3 month diet and thought they would accept weight watchers but no because it was not supervised. That was in oct. I completed that yesterday and they should be resubmitting this week. I was also denied because didn't have all info n letter required from my PCP got that also. So question is does anyone know how long it takes when it gets sent back? Is it a new submittal or a appeal or what? The coordinator had left for the day yesterday so I have to wait until Monday to find out. So much want approval this week do I can hopefully have surgery in February! Worried my insurance may change 1 march. Currently have GWH Cigna!

I'm APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY!!! :wub:

Now waiting for the surgery scheduler to call, but she said that might be a few days.

Congrats Firelle!

Thanks guys! Congrats Pammie!!

Hey beautyandbeyond, I called my insurance today and they said they didn't see any paperwork on my file regarding the surgery . I didn't call the surgical coordinator because I was going to curse out. It already been two weeks n she has not submitted the paperwork . Tomorrow I will give her a call . How about you ?

Still waiting here.......

When the day comes, I think I will be so grateful and thankful. It's been a long and emotional road so far. 2 years since I told my doctor I want the sleeve. I know there is much more to come. I was ready yesterday.

Good luck to all!!!
