I have been to the support groups at my local hospital but I feel like everyone already knows each other so they don't pay attention to the newbies ;(.. so if your a az sleever let me know love to chat

I have Cigna. They were very quick to reject and approve. Submitted on a Monday and knew by Friday. The biggest thing with them was to make sure to meet all the requirements. If you can do that' date=' you should be good to go![/quote']

Hopefully the insurance coordinator will make show all my ducks are in a row before she submits it.

sure not show. I hate auto correct

I have my cardio appt this Friday morning just an EKG nless they see something else and then my labs.......after that just need y PCP to send of the consult with the surgeon!!! I AM SO STOKED!!!!!

I'm going to TJ as I dont think ahcccs will pay for it. I'm waiting for ssdi and medicare probably won't pay for it either..in Mesa btw.

Just wondering if any Arizona Sleevers used st Luke's? It,looks like I will have to change dr.s and hospitals because banner gateway is not a Cigna Center of excellence. Any comments would be helpful

That's who I will be going to in Tempe once the V.A. gets my cardio done on the 20th....all my labs are great, psyc is done did my 8 week wl classes lost 36 lbs just waiting on cardio and then meet with the surgeon and set the date!!!

Good luck!

I have to admit at the beginning, I was scared to go to St. Luke's but I had an amazing experience everyone was super nice and I had no complications... I still go to the monthly seminars which are super helpful my surgeon was Dr. Juarez .. I would do this all over in a heart beat I talk to 2 other girls that also had surgery there around the same time let me know if you want to talk to us

I am also going to use Dr. Juarez, paperwork was submitted yesterday, Hopefully I will be approved this time. It has been really stressful having to change surgeons and centers at the last minute just to please Cigna.

Dr. Juarez is great you will love your sleeve

It is so hard waiting for the insurance approval. I am scared that they will find some reason to deny me again:(

I hope you get approved! I got denied once but they finds ways to get you approve if that's the case

Thank you. The only thing I am really worried about is the fact that I was told that my company's Cigna plan states that it does not require a 3 month supervised diet but everyone that I have talked to said that they were required to do one.

Hi. Has anyone heard of mercycares approval rate or if it takes six months of physician supervised wls consults. I have been waiting two years for my ssdi. Still havent been approve. So I'm so frustrated waiting that I just want to go to mexico and be done.

I got approved. Surgery Date is December 2. I am so excited but nervous at the same time.
