I am going through the exact same thing with Cigna. However, on my 3 month nut, I was told FOUR different times that all I needed was the receipt from online weight watchers. I also had 2 months of dietician through Cigna's on wellness group for 2 months last summer. I have to do WW online because we are so far out in the country, there is no class. ( those are from Cigna rep & insurance clerk) After denial it goes to -"reconsideration" -My pcp letter was sent again on Thursday and now suddenly at 3 pm on Friday, my surgery is cancelled. They are having a peer to peer on Monday a.m. to try and resolve it. But Cigna is obviously just trying to screw people over. When I spoke to Cigna Thursday all they needed then was the PCP clearance. But, by the insurance dept not having all my paperwork the first time, they denied it- not medically necessary. Then they denied it again Thursday night/ Friday morning because of this "missing paperwork" So, all this has caused a denial on original, a denial on reconsideration and probably a denial on appeal. Just make sure to continue doing their job for them. Otherwise, Cigna will screw you.

I am in Florida. My surgery will be in Gainesville . It is strange why some allow food and some don't.

Mine is also on the 8th. I have been on pre op since last Tuesday and I'm not sure what is going on . My scales only say I've lost 2 lbs. I have to lose 6 more, hoping it will come off. 4 protein shakes a day, 48-64 oz water,chicken broth, potato soup made with skim or fat free milk. soupy oatmeal.

Oh no... I also suffer from migraines as opposed to regular headaches. I think the caffeine triggered mine. Ii is really strange how many people actually have only a couple of days for this Diet and some have 2,3 or even 4 weeks. I don't know if I could do that and 2 weeks post op. I hope you feel better.

Day 5 and hanging in there. I did almost have a smoked rib last night. The sauce was good.

Hello everyone???? newbie here.Just wanted to find others that are going through this also. My weight last Tuesday was 225. I weighed last night and was 226. I guess only weigh first thing in the morning ? My surgery is April 8th I still have to lose 8lbs and I am on the 2 week pre op liquid diet. My surgery will be in Gainesville , Fl. The diet: Well, day 5 and I am hanging in there. I have stuck a smoked rib in my mouth last night , but didn't scarf it down. Didn't feel guilty or sad or mad. Just knew that it wasn't helping me.
