I could not believe my eyes when I opened up my mail today. An approval letter from Cigna. The doctor's office thought it would take 3-4 weeks. but it only took a week and a half.

After dozens of appointment and tests, I can't believe I was approved without a problem.

I'm happy, excited, nervous and grateful. This is a chance to change my life and improve my health!

Anyone else scheduled for 11/30 or close?

Woohoo!!! Congrats! What a great feeling! I think it depends a lot on how your surgeon submits and who in the approval dept you get. Mine was submitted on a Friday at noon and I got a call from surgeon's office Monday morning at 10! There are a few others on this board having trouble getting approved by Cigna....

Your new life will be here before you know it!!

How long was your wait? When did you start the program?

It's been a long road. I went to my first information session at the end of May. Cigna had a three month supervised program with a dietician. That started in Mid July. My surgeon's office submitted in mid October and I got the letter yesterday. I think the actual process of approval took a week or so.

So happy they approved me on the first shot and we did not have to get the surgeon involved.

Congratulations on your approval ????

Congrats on an early approval. Hope the surgery date follows just as quickly!

Thanks-surgery is scheduled for 11/30! I know it will be here before I know it!

Omg I just got approved by Cigna today after two weeks and I'm so happy. It would have been a quicker approval process but Cigna was saying that my dietician didn't add the proper notes to the claim so after contacting my dietician she sent over everything they needed. I also got my surgery date of 12-11-15 today also!
