Cigna Approved!



Recommended Posts

I had my last NUT appointment on Monday, the office submitted the paperwork on Tuesday and this morning I called Cigna assuming they would tell me it's pending but it was approved. It took only 2 days for approval. I'm just waiting to hear from the nurse so she can schedule me. I'm pretty excited. I was extremely nervous after hearing people being denied, and I didn't want to give Cigna a reason to deny me. :)

I also went thru Cigna, 2 day approval for the first surgeon and then I switched, just 3 days for the second surgeon. Congrats on a quick turnaround!

Cigna denied me after they told me I was approved. They said sorry, yes we have the tape recording that we gave you wrong coverage info. But you are still denied. I went through the entire program at mayo clinic driving 6 hours each way for months and months having $1000 in expenses and they do not care about my time, my heart ache beginning told no or my husband losing his job to help me make the very appt that were to give me hope at saving my life from other comibiditirie.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
