Hello guys I received a letter yesterday from my insurance company(my copy) they also sent one to my surgeon, stating that they received the request to cover the laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, however they need additional information to determine if the inpatient admission is necessary, does this mean the surgery is covered but they're questioning my need to be inpatient? I am so nervous I'm scheduled to have surgery February 10,2014, I am 5'7 248lbs, have completed all my pre testing I do have one premorbility DM2, I have Cigna as insurer please help I am so nervous, any insight would be appreciated.

I had cigna and they approved my in hospital stay. I was denied the first time because my doc office forgot to include my diet information from my primary doctor. i had done the three month required diet with my primary doctor earlier in the year. Once that was resubmitted they did approve me and I was sleeved on 12/13/2013.
