Hi,

I have Cigna insurance, and my last weight loss appointment is next week. I have a BMI of 36.5. Cormorbidities of hyperlipemia, high cholesterol, and a degenerating hip. My primary care doc is actually the one who first suggested the sleeve to control my weight because of my hip. My mom is diabetic, and I am pre-diabetic.

I'm really worried that I've junped through all these hoops and insurance will say no because my BMI isn't 40. Can anyone give me some encouragement?

I am thinking positive thoughts about you receiving good news soon.

Thank you both!!

I was approved at 37.5 with zero cm's. You'd be surprised. You have a greater chance than I did.

What??!!! What insurance did you have if you don't mind sharing? That is great for you!!!

Wow Sunshinetinaz! That's great! I've been told Cigna is super picky, but I do meet their criteria.

Still waiting. Days seem like weeks! Haha!

Bcbs. And they are picky as well. I am 10 days from surgery!! Best of luck ladies and many blessing to you!

FINALLY! I'm APPROVED!! Cigna said this morning that I had "partial approval." I asked what that meant. They said I was approved for the sleeve, but they need additional info on the "other surgery." I have no idea what they're talking about, so now I need to talk to my surgeon's office on that. But YAY!! APPROVED!!!

WOOHOO! I am so happy for you!

Awesome news

Thanks! I'm excited!
