WooHoo, Cigna has approved me on my first try. My paperwork was submitted on a monday and it was approved 10 days later. I was very careful about making sure I had exactly what they needed and I think that's what sped things along. I really was expecting a hassle but was pleasantly suprised.:redface:

Congrats! I hope Aetna is that speedy.

weightisover,

Did you have to do a six month supervised diet program with Cigna?

Congrats, Girl!

I am waiting for Cigna as well. I was Submitted Last Wednesday or so my surgeons office said to me that day they were going to submit me. It could have ended up being Friday. You know Drs.

I know someone who Cigna took 30 days. I am hoping mine is as short as yours. I live in Vermont and I know it all depends upon your State and Your policy and your employer.

God willing I do not run into any problems.

Elizabeth

I have CIGNA too. Can you tell me what you provided in terms of the 6 month diet?

I have my appointment with the surgeon in 2 weeks. I've been reading about so many people that have to appeal at least once, it is a surprise to read about someone who was approved right away.
