I'm APPROVED! Cigna 5 days!



Recommended Posts

I was approved today!!! Paperwork submitted 'Monday afternoon . I was approved by Friday at 10am. From what I have seen posted here, I was really worried. But It appears that those who are denied are denied due to missing documents or requirements. . If you do a search for Cigna Bariatric surgery, you will find a list of everything that is needed. I would make sure to check that before submitting. Good luck for all pending approvals!!

Wow 5 days! Congrats. I have Cigna too and they told me they require a 6 month supervised weight program before they approve. That sucks for me

Did you have to do the Dr supervised diet? That's all that I'm worried about!

Yes I did. I was so easy. Just a waiting game really. They just teach you to read labels and how much Protein you need to take.

Start with verifying your coverage and what Cigna requires.

Cb0419....can I ask you your BMI and co morbities. I have a low BMI and only two. Did Cigna call your surgeon with the approval and they notified you?

Oops CB I should have address that to the initial created of the thread. Still trying to figure out the site. Some posts are old and I am hoping those older posters respond to questions.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
