I was officially approved!!!! After 19 days of waiting and the I got a yes!!! So my out of pocket portion is $3800. Hospital says I must pay atleast $1900 upfront. Care credit denied me. Booooo My credit isnt horrible, just not long standing and also my stupid cc balances are still showing even though i paid both cards off in full last month. grrrr Alll in all we can come up with the 1900 but I wish I had gotten the carecredit so I could have surgery right away instead of scrambling for a month or so

that woukd be awesome. They told me it is due a week in advance. Makes me sad since a friend of minw had the same surgery with the same Dr at the same hospital and didnt have to pay anything upfront. Her deductible was about the same too. Hopefully, it will all work out. Im definately stressed though. Praying everyone finds a little peace tonight

HAHAHAHAHHA that made me laugh! I feel the same way sometimes.

I have felt the same way. Keep yor chin up.....people are assholes and you are going to do GREAT

What a fantastic day you had!!! Congrats

Best Wishes!!!!! Hoping you have an amazing easy recovery

Still keeping my fingers crossed for ya! I think its been about 18 days since I submitted to Cigna, I hope your wait is much less...im a total basket case lol

I totally get what youre saying and agree with the whole men are visual logic. I talked to another friend who had the surgery 7months ago and she said it got better. Truth is if my husband lost 30lbs and started getting cut and had abs I would still be pawing all over him like I always have, but I would probably be way more jealous. so I guess it could go both ways

Youre Pretty !

I dont need to be told Im pretty. But I do need to feel desired. Women want to feel desired by thier partner, atleast I do. In fact, for me the most important thing is to feel desired. Even though we still have lots of laughs and little fights, I do not feel desired.

I would love to think he is just feeding off my energy, but that isnt always the case. I got my feelings hurt last night and maybe that is driving my fear. I love my husband very much and I know he loves me, but even when I am feeling confident and pretty, it can go unnoticed. We have very open communication, so I have communicated how things have changed and what I need. Just wanted to know if anyone else experienced this.

Good luck hope you get word soon

still waiting.....they received the second Dr recommendation in the 29th. So we are almost a week later.

Congrats!!!! Sending awesome good mojo your way!

My insurance coordinator says this is normal, i was just hoping to get a quick yes. A friend of mine submitted and had approval the next day. She was with a different provider though. Congrats on your approval!! How exciting! Hope it all goes very smooth for you and you are on the losers bench in no time

Im so sorry to hear that you are having a hard time.

I think life is tok short to be miserable. I have only battled my weight for about 5-6 years and I am about :100 lbs overweight. That being said, I obviously cant do thia on my own. I got married last year and in the 2 years we were engaged I battled hardcore to lose weight. I was 228 when I started and I went up and down 20-40lbs over and over and over. The month before my wedding I was under 200. The day of my wedding, 212. YEP....i even weighed myself on my wedding day So a year out and I am now 250lbs. my highest ever. my depression was so bad I didnt like to leave the house. I feel like a freak. so i made the descision to do this. I would have made the same choice if I was back at 212 as well. i wish you the best of luck

CONGRATS!!!! SO EXCITING!1

i am so confused. whats the difference? apparently my paperwork was in the determinatiin queue and should have ben in the certification? idk someine kniw the difference????

This afternoon we submitted my paperwork to Cigna. I have a bmi of 41 with no other health issues. I quit smokin 4 & 1/2 weeks ago and I have been eating healthier already. I am so ready for the anxiety of not knowing to be over. two more hurdles...insurance approval then apply for financing for my out of pocket portion. I will be on pins and needles lol. Any prayes or well wishes is greatly and deeply appreciated.

any experiences with either? hopefully only need to finance my out of pocket portion $3900

I am also through my husbands insurance but I called Cigna specifically and bariatric surgery is covered when meeting their criteria. Im praying they dont make me jump through hoops lol. I hope your surgery goes well. As far as the liquid diet goes my guess is that it will be hard pre op but post op you will be too scared to want to eat something crunchy

good luck to us all! praying Cigna is quick

sending good Mojo your way. i will pray for you.

im still pre op but went for an hour walk today.....wow i have horrible chaffing in the crease of each leg. I live in Texas and it gets hot here. what kind of underwear and clothing should I wear to prevent chaffing in such a hot humid climit??
