I am really hoping they will be fair. I guess we all get uneasy when we are waiting for an answer. I am trying to keep myself busy for how ever long it takes to get the approval. Hopefully it won't take the whole 30 days they have.

Good luck! I will be submitting to Cigna sometime in August and I think my tactic is sending them more information about my fat butt then they ever wanted. That way, maybe they will just be overwhelmed and approve me quickly! I was lucky enough to dig up not just 2, but 5 years of weight history with a BMI over 40. Along with that I am sending 2 letters of recommendation from different doctors plus a personal letter stating my case (my PCP recommended that I do this). My BMI is 44 i think now and I have PCOS and high cholesterol so I am really having a hard time seeing how they could say no, but they do all the time. Do you think information overload will help?? I'm kinda becoming a little OCD about all of this....haha. Help!! :smile2:

Well still nothing. I called Cigna on Friday and they are saying they have not received it yet. So Lap band Solutions said if they still say that on Wedneday they will send again. Is it common for them not to receive it or is this just a way for them to stall?

I have Cigna too. Tentative surgery date is July 1st. I called Cigna on Friday too. No record of a request for pre-certfication. Feeling very frustrated and nervous. Let me know if you hear from Cigna.

Do you have a surgery date? Good luck.

I too have Cigna and am just starting the long process. It looks like you have been thru a great deal already without even getting approved yet. Is that true? I wish you all the best and keep posting...I have found Cigna to be very fair in the past and am praying this holds true. Kimberly

My paperwork was submitted on June 24 and my surgery is scheduled for 7/1 so I hope they don't take 30 days. I have been very upset with the surgeon's office about the delay since I gave them all paperwork a month ago. Just trying to go with the flow. May not find out if I'm approved until Monday! Please everyone think good thoughts!

I will keep you in my prayers that things move along with Cigna. I just received an incredible letter from my GP stating every diet I have been on in the last 8 years...I am hoping that will appease the insurance company and I will not have to go on ANOTHER supervised diet for 6 months. You keep us posted....Cigna has been very good to me and my family so I am praying that that continues. GOOD LUCK! Kimberly

I have no idea. They said it was submited two weeks ago but Cigna says they never received it. LBS resubmited this wedseday and Cigna has it now and it is pending. I am just glad it is pending now. Hopefully I will have an answer soon. I think I will call Cigna on Monday just to get an update.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
