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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
