Lulu5 i believe you answered my question. I suffer from a condition called Lymphedema in both of my legs and i know for a fact that is a comorbidity (it is one of the top 5 comorbidities) so maybe that is why my PCP didn't press the issue of the sleep study. -

Chas74 can you answer a question for me please. Is a sleep study needed/recommended if you snore period? or are there other things that determine if the study is needed. -

Question for you all. Did your PCP order the test or did the Surgeon order the test. My reason for asking is because when i saw my PCP this week for my physical she asked me questions like do i wake up with a headache, is my sleep broken during the night other than to go to the bathroom, Do i fall asleep during the day. All of my responses were no. She didn't say anything more about the sleep study after that. -
First appt. with the Surgeon scheduled for next Thursday 08/15/2013. So excited yet nervous.

Also ladies. The 3 consectutive months does not include your initial evaluation/consultation. So this means you should be submitting 4 months of documentation all together.

I saw my PCP on yesterday and had my physcial. Everything looks good. I got her approval to have the surgery. She does not feel i need to have a sleep study which is fine with me. My EKG was great. I will have my blood work done on Saturday morning. Scheduled to see the surgeon for the first time on 5/15/2013.

I saw your pictures (before and after) you are such an inspiration. I noticed your current and goal weight, you look so much smaller than the current weight. Have you experienced any sagging of skin since lossing over 100lbs?

I also work for Cigna however, i am located in Maryland. If i have the procedure done by the end of the year i will not have to pay a penny since i have met both my deductible and Maxium Out of Pocket for the year. I was wondering though why would you have to pay so much for your procedure. Is is because you have not met the deductible yet? I know once you met the deductible than the insurance kicks in and covers 80% of your medical costs. Hope i am not asking too much personal information. I was thinking that since we work for Cigna our coverage rules should/would be the same. -
I had my Psych Evaluation last night and it went very well. The doctor said she feels confident that i will benefit well from the surgery. I should have my signed papers from her next week. Now i just have to make it to August to have all of my inital evaluation/consult visits with my PCP, Surgeon and Nutrionists.
