Hey everyone,

I was wondering if anybody was approved by Cigna that could not show proof of being obese for at least 5 years. I understand that this is a requirement and unfortunately I can show proof of obesity (this last time) for only a little over 3 years. I have all other documentation ready. Should I proceed and see what they say, of should I wait?

Thanks for any advice,

T

5 years? I haven't heard that.

I'm currently going thru the process to get approved for my surgery (scheduled for 4/12). I was supposed to hear last week.. before I started liquids...

However, Cigna is taking their sweet time.

Basically, I applied back in November. They came back to me and said "weigh in with a professional for the next 6 mos. Then we'll talk."

So, I weighed in with the nutritionist at NYU for 6 mos. Reapplied. Now I'm waiting.

If they say "prove you've been overweight for the past 5 years," I could probably get them that info... but I'm really hoping they don't do that. Will let you know.
