I had my last session with my NUT Monday. Found out they had submitted the preliminary paper work on the 15th. They submitted my clinical notes on the 23rd of April. Now the 5 day wait begins. Fingers crossed I get approved. Worried because most everything I have read Cigna is a nightmare.

Excited, can't wait.

Good luck!!

I'm really interested in how long it takes you... As i have cigna also... May I be so bold to ask your BMW and co-morbidites? Gosh, I must be getting rude, am kind of (in a very round about way) asking someone their weight!

I am 220, bmi around 37. Something, I am diabetic, high blood pressure, have back pain, lower and upper due to the "girls". No sleep apnea however.

I hope to hear Monday or Tuesday . I have followed all of cigna's rules. Fingers crossed

Hi sissy...when I read all the Cigna post here I too thought they would be difficult...but they were not. You just have to arm yourself with the criteria and make sure you meet it all. I was approved on day 5....had my surgery last week. So no worries you should be fine.

Thank you for sharing your experience with Cigna. Still waiting. I called them yesterday and they said it was with the nurse for review and that something should be faxed to the doctor by Wednesday. We did follow all their guidelines. I even did a full 90 days with the NUT. I did not loose weight however. Fingers crossed.

I have Cigna too. I was denied the first time around, but approved shortly after. I started at 213 with one comorbidity, high cholesterol. My surgery was 2 1/2 months ago. Best wishes.

Thank you

I have Cigna too I was denied in march and I got approve today thanks god hopefully you get approve too

Aque, may I ask what you did or didn't do to get denied the first time?

Approved. 5 days. Surgery may 20 (if my boss approves) start my diet Monday. Excited and scared at the same time.
