Thanks! I've been fighting with Cigna just for a stupid DENIAL! "Ma'am, it can take up to 30 days" is what they told me today! REALLY, more time and money wasted on something I'm telling you that will happen regardless cause it NOT covered in my policy. SMART INSURANCE COMPANY!!!! I see that you have a date of 1/10/11...Congrats!!!! Did they make you do the psych eval and supervised diet before approval? I heard of some not being required to do it. They haven't told me I need to, but, I've had to switch to Tricare Standard to use the Dr. that I need to. It's just been a big MESS! Keep us updated on your surgery, you get to enjoy the holidays and start the New Year FRESH!!!! -
Still waiting on my denial letter but, I am looking forward to a great Christmas & New Year- Plus, my daughter will be 14 next week!!! WOW- Good thing I'm keeping busy, these insurance companies can drive you insane!!!
Hope you all have a FANTABULOUS day!!! -
Good Luck with your surgery PhilC! Please keep us all up to date on your progress.

Cigna needs to hurry up and send my denial letter!! Hello! I have an exclusion and they got the paperwork last week! Let me submit it to Tricare and be done with insurance!!!
Have a great day everyone! -
Starting to look toward the bright side of things, I should really not rush and hopefully get banded after the new year. I can enjoy my Christmas & New Years Eve and not be recovering.

So what are you going to do when you loose your weight

I'm going to use the "small" bathroom stall at work!! I know this may sound crazy but HECK!!! I know I am not the only one that just about jumped off the toilet with a stomach cramp trying to get it wiped!!! OK, so hopefully I'm not!!. Seriously, tried the 26 Glacier cruise in Alaska and those bathrooms are for KIDS only they were so small!!! I want to just be comfortable in my own skin and not have to be the "fun" one to be around cause my jokes make my confidence that I don't have. I put on a good show and no one know's how much I hurt inside! That's just the start!!! -

Thank you Swan56!! Well, before I left work today I just was curious and it said "NOT APPROVED". So I called to see what the issue was. Just as I thought, they needed a denial letter from my primary. I told the office this would happen. I am one of those people that like to do things "Just in case". I explained to them that the policy has a direct exclusion for any bariatric procedure and they said to fax that part of my policy over. HOPEFULLY that will be enough or it will be a few days or more to get a denial letter from Cigna. UGH!!!!! Oh well-- I still have a few more dollars to round up anyway as it's out of network and Tri-care should reimburse that part after the procedure. I love this forum and all the great stories involved. It's great to know I'm not going at this alone and others have similar issues. -
So, another hurdle!!! Dang this can get frustrating. Tricare did not approve me but just for an incomplete submission***frustrated***

Just frustrated with everything! My sciatic nerve is killing me and the wonderful appt. line for the Air Force base says they can't get me in for it until Dec. 28, the same day I have an appt. for my referral.
