Okay. Tomorrow I weigh in for 3rd month and meet with surgeon. Did so well, hit a plateau, didn't meet my goal weight by 6 lbs? Might be because my period is about to start and I always bloat up before and during. But I'm stressed and just wanted to know what's the likelihood of being denied for 6 lbs?

10% was 25lbs, I started the actual program at 255.2, but I weighed 280 previously but had started topiramate and low calorie diet before program. The clinic and my insurance has records of my previous weight, although I doubt they can "count" it, or whatever.

Whether it's positive or negative, I'd like to know what's likely to happen so I can mentally prepare.... thanks in advance!

I don't think Cigna requires any weight loss, just that you're going to your monthly weigh-ins and you're on a "supervised diet." The weight loss must be part of your surgeon's program and it'll be up to them whether they think you're ready for surgery or not.

Cigna does not require weight loss for alproval, so you should be fine!

Oh thank goodness! Puts me at little more at ease then. Thank you!

I have cigna. They didn't require an actual amount of weight loss just that you do the three months of a doctor supervised diet. Good luck!!
