hopingtobebandedsoon

Hi im new to this site i, have finished all of Cigna requirements, still worried they will deny...anyone having problems getting approve by cigna?

Thank you i am making sure all the paper work they require gets to them..thanks so much

Yeh they will bill insurance companies more, even though they dont get what they billed for.

I havent been banded yet but had an upper Gi and i have a hernia also which will be repaired when i have surgery

Okay thanks alot

Anyway to change my profile name?

Hi Lulu, im not banded yet either but i started my journey in Nov of 2011 only because i was required to do a 6 month supervised diet required by my insurance...my last one was May 10 this year..so now my advocate will be faxing my paperwort to my insurance..so it really depends on what your insurace requires...so for looks like i will be banded by end of may beginning of June..so thats how long the process takes again it depends on your insurance and the place were your r getting it done..hope this helps.

that is awesome, ive been reading all the stories, i dont have surgery date yet but i plan to be banded by end May, rending most post im so ready to start my journey!!

I guess i am really getting nervous because my paper work will be submitted to my insurance Friday i have cigna..anyone denied because of weight gain while on the six month supervised diet??

Im not banded yet im hoping for May. ive been reading alot, looks like its taking people at least 2 weeks to really feel able to go back to work...really have to give yourself time i heal..
