I am so excited and anxious I can't stand it! I had a chest x-ray yesterday, and that was the final piece my clinic needed before sending everything off for pre-cert with my insurance. I am hoping to have my surgery in September, so fingers crossed!

Anyone have any experience with CIGNA and what their personal turnaround time was? My clinic says it generally 2 weeks, but it would be awesome to know others' personal experiences.

Thanks!

Approved! Got the "official" call today, but I've known since yesterday, because I'd emailed BCBS FEP on Sunday night and got a reply on Monday morning. They'd approved me on 9/2/14, and sent out letters to myself and my surgeon. So, realistically, it was 7-8 business days. Next bloodwork, labs, and EGD. Looking at October surgery date if all goes well.

Congratulations!! I am assuming you are in New Orleans by the name. Lol. I'm in Baton Rouge. Scheduled for October 6th. Maybe we can be buddies.

No, I'm living in Tennessee now. I was born and raised in Louisiana, near Lafayette. No matter where I am, I'm a WHO DAT 4 LYFE!!
