    Thanks! I have Cigna. I found a thread about them and everyone seemed to get results decently quick. I am going to be a MESS while waiting for approval! !

    I have Humana and they do not require any weight loss supervision. My surgery date is 12/5/13 and I am doing the gastric sleeve. I start my opifast in Thursday, November 21,2012. All smiles ready for my new life style.
