I'm A Noob To The Site, Surgery Is This Thursday
elphievsg replied to Mr_Worm's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgery is this Thursday, too. No questions or nerves, just wanted to wish you luck! -
Good luck to you both! I'm on my preop diet right now, and I still have a few odds and ends to pick up. Otherwise, Thursday can't get here fast enough.

How Long Does It Take To Get Approval From Cigna (open Access Plus) For Gastric Sleeve Surgery
elphievsg replied to JamaicanGirl2011's topic in Insurance & Financing
Thank you! I'm really excited. Hope your process goes as smoothly. I think you can expect about a business week, since that is what I had and the other poster below. When the insurance coordinator submitted my paperwork, on Thursday afternoon, she called and told me to start bugging Cigna if I hadn't heard anything by the next Wednesday. So, I think she is used to Cigna responding pretty quickly. Happy New Year and best wishes to you! -
How Long Does It Take To Get Approval From Cigna (open Access Plus) For Gastric Sleeve Surgery
elphievsg replied to JamaicanGirl2011's topic in Insurance & Financing
My Paperwork was submitted 12/8/2011, and I received approval 12/16/2011...so, 8 eight days. I'm having surgery 1/12/2011 at Presbyterian Dallas with Dr. James Davidson. I have Cigna OEP through my husband's employer, and so far they've been very easy to work with. -
Thanks! I finally got a date- January 12, 2011. Pre-op is Jan 4. I cannot wait!!

Brand new here, got my letter of approval from CIGNA today. Hoping to schedule between 12/26 - 1/9/12. So, i will most likely be a January 2012. I am so excited. Now, if this scheduler would just call me back :/
