I'm scheduled for October 13! Good luck to all of you -
I just got approval today!!!! I am scheduled for October 13! Can't believe it.. Seems like it would never happen. Bring my new life
-
So anybody else had problems with approval first go around? Cigna wanted more notes from NUT and I had to ask my PCP to write a more specific medical necessity letter. I am 5'6" and 248lb, BMI is 40.06. What do you guys think ?
-
So still waiting for my PCP to send a revised letter of medical necessity to my surgeons office so they can send it to insurance again. I am trying to stay calm but SOOOO anxious! Crossing my fingers

I am awaiting insurance approval and hopefully I'll have an October surgery date. I'm in Idaho -
So Cigna says my sleeve surgery is not medically necessary. I am 248 and 5'6". My BMI is 40. So the office is going to call and talk with them. I really need and want this surgery! Pray for me please

I started my sleeve journey in May and have my last appt. with nutritionist aug. 26th. Once insurance gives the go ahead I will get my surgery date.
