Cigna's 5 year weigh-in requirement
jen.jazayeri posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello all-I am just curious how many of you had to provide 5 years of weigh-ins at doctor visits (for Cigna) in order to get approved for WLS...I rarely go to the doctor and my weight is like a roller coaster, up one minute...down the next...I'm afraid I won't be eligible because I haven't always had a BMI > 40... In the past 5 years it has ranged from the 20's to the forties!!! Help I'm stressed!!! I want/need this surgery so bad;) -

I'm happy everything worked out well for you guys;) I called Cigna twice for confirmation about 5 years of visits to the doctor...they both said the same thing...they want all medical records from PCP that has my height and weight recorded...fingers crossed that I'm eligible... I never go to the doctor(so hard to get in)!!! I usually go to a Walgreen's when I am sick:/ but I have faith that it will all work out;) -

Yea...you must have six consecutive months supervised by a doctor and nutritionist recording weight/height/BMI but u must have a prior history of obesity over the past 5 years...someone said 2...does anyone know about this?
