It is a 6 month doctor supervised diet pre band. You also have to go through an evaluation by the team of doctors preforming the surgery.

I'm with you Kathy. I was wondering the same thing. How long it takes to get an approval from Cigna. I am working on my 6 month deal at this time. Go in for initial consult in October. 6 months is up in December. So if approved probably looking at January or February. Good luck to all of you. Darlene

Web, I too have to do the 6 months of supervised dieting. I am with Cigna Arizona. I have just had my 2nd month. Still no loss. Cigna does not pay for programs like Optifast or even appetite supressents. Good luck on your progress, seems your doing the right thing to lose some of your weight before the surgery.

Hello Sue, I too have to go through the 6 month stuff. I actually go to my pcp today to get started. I have not seen the surgeon yet. I do all that in October. I put that off for a few months hoping that it would make the time go by quicker. Good luck to you. Darlene
