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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
