Hello everyone:-)

Well, it's down to the wire with me having all my things in line to turn into my insurance company. My doctor knew what Cigna would require, so he's had me taking care of that for the past 6 months. TODAY I have the Psyc appointment that Cigna requires. I'm a bit nervous,,, do they have to see that I'm not going to go crazy when I get thin? LOL Well, actually I will go a little nuts,,, buying new clothes!!! SO, has anyone had to do this sort of thing with the psyc doc? Just wondering what to expect when I get to her office.

Hi!

Don't worry about the Psyc evaluation... I am also covered by Cigna and had to do the 6 month PCP appts, the psyc evaluation, a nutriationist... its was ok.. i did have to appeall the first request for surgery, but after the doctor's office worked their magic, i got approved the second time. i am now 3 weeks post-op and feeling great! can't wait to get the fill in so that i can feel some restriction. Don't worry though, you will do fine thru the psyc eval.

Wow,,, all the worry about the psyc eval,,,, it was all about the doctor's,,, not me, lol. Well, about me,,, but just to see what sort of patient I will be and not my worry that I thought they were going to be looking at me to see if I could handle being thin, LOL LOL LOL

I'm SO glad to hear that you are doing so well after surgery. You hear of so many that don't. Did you do anything prior to surgery to help yourself more afterwards? Like working out a lot, etc. Also,,, if we have done all that Cigna requires,,, why would they deny the first time around,,, did they take the full 45 days to reply that they were going to deny? Then did it take you another 45 days? Sorry to hit you with all these questions,,, but I'm trying to be as prepared as I can:-) Again,,, glad you are going well!!!
