Congrats!! But if you don't mind me asking what happened why did you get denied the first time?

I also have CIGNA and was denied once. In the end it's worth all the hoops! Congratulations!

Mine was denied because my PCP didn't write recommended and cleared for surgery. Once she re-did the letter, it was approved right away.

I got denied the first time bc my doctor wasn't a three star so I had to change doctors and re send my paper work and got approved after a week of sending the paper work

Did you have to go through or follow a monitored nutrition plan first?

My info was submitted to Cigna today--I'm so excited! I've certainly jumped through all the hoops I could find to jump through, starting my physician monitoring in November 2012--my last PCP appointment was Monday of this week. My PCP did mention that Cigna is a bear to deal with, but my daughter and sister-in-law were both approved by Cigna, although through different policies, so I have hope.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
