Who else is waiting on approval?

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??

Jen, can you physically visit the office and speak with her manager?

I guess I could. I haven't had time and I'm really trying to work this out with her first. I'm going to just keep calling everyday, so maybe she will get tired of me enough to get something done. I'm going to tell her to fax the paperwork regardless of what the contact from the insurance told her. Because they obviously don't have that information.

Congratulations beautyandbeyond !!! I'm really happy for you . You have UHC ? I hope I get my respond soon . Do you have a surgery date?

Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Approved!!!!!!

Great news!!! Have they set the date yet???

Approved today!!!! Surgery date 2/21. I'm in disbelief. It's taken me almost two years to get to this day. Congrats to all and best of luck xoxo

My Surgeon just sent the paperwork to my insurance company. The plan is to have my lap-band removed, wait six weeks and have sleeve surgery. I'm hoping that I won't have to jump through hoops to get approval!
