My PCP has been seen me since May I saw her in May and June and I missed July because my job would not let me off work due to a shortage of staff but I saw her again in August and then I saw her again in September she documented in August that I was unable to come due to my job and every single month she highly recommended me having W LS my way obviously was documented every visit but she would only mention that we discussed diet and exercise and that was it I'm very scared that I'm going to be denied based on how vague it is although I have a letter from her office clearing me for surgery and saying that they highly recommend me do this due to my health conditions and BMI over 50 and that I've tried many failed attempts at losing weight. Even the doctor that did my sleep study put in his notes weight-loss is highly recommended I don't know if I'm up sussing over nothing or if I should be concerned but if I cannot get the surgery at the end of October due to insurance I can't have it until next year because of my job I was cleared and October but that was it

I'm so scared. I've jumped through major hoops to just find a facility and surgeon covered. My pcp has documented my weight loss and that she discussed diet and exercise but nothing more than that since May. I missed July due to work and she documented that bc they wouldn't let me off but I'm so worried I'll be denied bc her notes may be too vague. I have letters from her and the sleep study people highly recommending WLS including the surgeon and documenting all my health issues. But now I'm hearing Cigna is so hard to get an approval. My bmi is also over 50 and I have pcos and so many other health issues

I am all scared I will get denied. My dr has had me on phentermine since May and has documented that we discussed weight and how I needed exercise and clean diet 1500 cals on one of the office note. We have May and June. I missed July bc my work wouldn't let me off but my dr documented that and I was seen in August and September. I'm scared that her notes are too vague we discussed other things but she always threw in my weight and how I needed to look into WLS and how I needed to watch what I ate and exercise. No specifics on exact diet and exercise. Problem is my employer only allowing me off the last week of October. Due to people having babies and other surgeries they can't give me any other time off before next year so if this doesn't get approved in screwed. ????
