I have Cigna through my employer but they excluded weight loss sugery from their plan. :biggrin:. I was just approved for BCBS of GA PPO plan and want to start my process for surgery. Does anyone know if I will have a waiting period before I can start the process? I have been on supervised diet from a doctor for about two years. HBP- and a bmi of 41. Will I be ok?:sad:

:sad: Did you have a waiting period whe you were approved for the insurance-is it through your employer or is it private. I'm sorry just trying to get all the details don't want to call insurance company with all these questions off the bat.

There was no waiting period I went to the doctor in feb 2009 had to complete the psycho evaluation, nutrition, pulmonary test (breathing) and heart evaluation all that took a month. My insurance is thru my employer within 2 day of submisson I was approved. My doctor was charles finley located a crawford long downtown atl,,,the good thing he does not make you attend a seminar
