I was approved for the sleeve last month and my surgery is actually scheduled for Tuesday. However I got a call from Cigna on Friday afternoon at 4:30 (lovely timing) saying that although they approved it, that particular code for the sleeve was excluded per my plan. They are saying it won't be covered now. I'm going to have my docs office call first thing Monday, but I'm thinking if there is no budge on the sleeve coverage, maybe they could switch to bypass and I could have that done Tuesday instead? I believe it's all the same WLS requirements and I know my plan cover bypass for sure.

Anyone else go through this and got a switch quickly? I'm freaking out and devastated after all this time and planning it may not happen.

I hope this went through for you! My friend was supposed to have the sleeve and the same thing happened! She was approved for the bypass but it took an extra week .
