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??

Well I talked to my insurance yesterday and I was told the case manager is working on my approval and contacted my dr office for additional records. I was told to call back in a couple of days. I am still thinking postive and praying I fet approved!!

The insurance coordinator at the surgeons office just called. She talked to Cigna and they are finally getting the surgeons switched on the paperwork. I should know something tomorrow. Yay! She talked like this is the only issue to approving. :)

I HAVE MY APPROVAL!!! I am so emotional right now. Happy and now nervous but its all OK! My dr surgery scheduler is out today so I left her a message to call me tomorrow.

Awesome Jen!!! Keeping my fingers crossed for you!!!

Got my surgetu date today. FEB 13! So many mixed emotions and worried about the 2 weeks of liquids. I know I can do it but its still worrysome.

Mine is February 19th

Congratulations everyone. Don't be nervous about the 2 week liquid diet just look at it as a small step into regaining control of your body and your health ;) I start my 2 week pre-op diet on Monday...we can do this!!!

I'm Feb 11th too - start pre-op on Monday. Heard this was gonna be the hard part of the process...

Good luck to all of you! I will try not to worry about liquid diet . It just sounds so hard but heard after the first 3 days it gets better.

Me too Fatfreeme, just do the best you can do. If we could easily fast we wouldn't be over weight in the 1st place ;) i can eat meat & green veggies once a day, can you?

Congrats Diva!

Any new news on your Dr office submitting to insurance?

I am right there with the rest. submitted to insurance. Got confirmation they received on Tuesday. I have Aetna heard they don't take to long. Should have answer soon, hopefully.

I am doing my sleep test tonight then everything goes to my insurance company. I have Anthem I was told I should know in 7 to 10 days. It has been a little over 2 weeks since I had my first consultation with the doctor.
