Who do you have for Ins. if you don't mind me asking. I have Cigna and they require a 6 month physican followed diet. Which with my docs, letters and my health history they will approve me quickly, since I have been following a 1500 cal. diet since at least Oct. Elizabeth

I will just be glad when I get my phone call or those infamous words "Your approved" than I can relax a bit more. Sitting on the edge of my seat every month stinks royally, not knowing, but next month the paperwork should get submitted than hopefully all will go a little more smoothly. Good luck to those of you having surgery next week. At least you all get to have a last hooah for the holidays. Merry Christamas and have a safe and healthy new year. Elizabeth:)

I knew going in that I was going to have to wait at least 6 months, as the surgeons office told me if I had Cigna it would be at least 6 months till I could have surgery. Still they said no guarantee of surgery two months going in, as insurance may not approve. The uncertainty of all of this is very nerve racking. But like you said so worth it in the end, when we are skinny or at least thinner and healthier. Elizabeth

I too have Cigna, and will be submitting my information soon. What can I expect from them? I believe I have everything they ask for in terms of meeting their expectations. I am still in the process of the 6 month diet with my physician. Congrats on you approval.
