azjanie replied to AtlantaRed's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Finally Sleeved! I had my surgery on Decemeber 2nd at 9am. I have been a little sore the last couple of days but nothing major. I am so happy that I am on my way to a better/heatlier life. -
December 2013 Sleevers Come In!
azjanie replied to AtlantaRed's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My surgery is Monday and I am surprised that I am getting nervous and having 2nd thoughts. I know that I will go through with the surgery but was just wondering if anyone else was feeling the same way. -
Thank you
-
I had to go through the same thing for the same reason. Everything turned out ok. Sometimes I think Doctors just want to run our bills up and stress us out.

Is It Possible To Get Approved Without A Supervised Weight Loss Program?
azjanie replied to azjanie's topic in Insurance & Financing
I wish that i had done that because i having been going through this process since August and it would have already been completed. Hopefully I will approved without it, I would hate to weight another 3 months because of misinformation. -
Is It Possible To Get Approved Without A Supervised Weight Loss Program?
azjanie posted a topic in Insurance & Financing
I was wondering if anyone has been approved without doing a supervised weight loss program. I have Cigna which I thought always required some type of supervised weight loss program but my patient coordinator says that my self-insured Cigna Plan through my school district doesn’t require one. They do require that I have been employed with the district for 5 years and that the surgery be performed at a Cigna Center of Excellence. When I called Cigna they told me just the opposite that I needed to do a three-month program and that there was nothing about 5 years of employment. I also checked with my benefits department as they said the same thing as my patient coordinator. I was denied a few weeks ago because the hospital that my surgeon used was no longer a Cigna Center of Excellence. I found a new surgeon and a new hospital and jump through their new hoops and my file has been resubmitted. Now I am really nervous that I will be denied again, because of the lack of a weight loss program. If I had knowed if would take so long for this process I would have done the 3 month supervised weight loss program just to be on the safe side. -
Thank you. The only thing I am really worried about is the fact that I was told that my company's Cigna plan states that it does not require a 3 month supervised diet but everyone that I have talked to said that they were required to do one.
-
It is so hard waiting for the insurance approval. I am scared that they will find some reason to deny me again:(
-
I am also going to use Dr. Juarez, paperwork was submitted yesterday, Hopefully I will be approved this time. It has been really stressful having to change surgeons and centers at the last minute just to please Cigna.

WHo did your surgery? Because of insurance I am having to change to St. Lukes and was wondering how your whole experience was/
-
Just wondering if any Arizona Sleevers used st Luke's? It,looks like I will have to change dr.s and hospitals because banner gateway is not a Cigna Center of excellence. Any comments would be helpful
