Finally received my approval from Cigna today. Can't believe it's real.

Me too! Yeeha! how long did it take to get yours? With regards to the 90 day rule.......they did not adhere to it.....but perhaps because I started the process before May 15th (?).......I only had 59 days with the NUT.......anyway, good luck to everyone!

Did everyone have multiple visits with the nutritionist? My doctor's office said I only need one.

You'd have to check your policy (call up your ins. co. and ask what is required)....I had the 3 visit requirement....some folks have 6......good luck!

My paperwork was sent in the 26th of June' date=' they supposedly wrote the denial on the 4th of July, so pretty quick. I just hope the appeal is as quick.[/quote']

They denied me the next day but I had another insurance to cover the surgery cost. Post op 2 days

This is slightly dated, but I too was urgently waiting my approval due to a limited surgery schedule. I explained that I would have to wait until December should I not get the dates I was shooting for and the surgeons office "penciled" me in. I received my approval and they set the date for sure. I ended up with a date 2 weeks later than I really wanted, Silly surgeon took a 3 week vacation. I'm his first when he gets home.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
