Great job Janet! :thumbup: I wanna Be just like you someday! You are a big support to all of us and I appreciate it! I can't wait to get banded. Yesterday my Blood pressure shot up to 192/90! :thumbup: I don't have high blood pressure normally, so they are doing a bunch of test! I Pray this isn't something that will delay my surgery. It is June 6.

Tammy: My Pre Op diet is low carb beginning on the 23rd. I think I may try the shakes.

I used the number on the back of my card and when they gave me the options I said "something else" then the option of pre-authorizations came up and I was put through to a rep. They always were very nice and helpful. HOpe this helps. I was approved in about 5 days, I called them bunches!

Hey Jazzy Junes! Sorry Sellie, I must have slipped up there. Any of you can feel free to add to the post. All I do to re-post the list is select the list, right click, find copy, paste in the message box and then edit it. You can even copy the little smiley and put in a new date. I know there are some more new June Bansters. Let them know about the list! I love to see it grow. If you don't want to edit the list just post the name and date and I will do it!

Hi Wendy: I have Cigna and have been approved. My surgery date is June 6. :thumbup: As to your question about the 5 year history, it is my understanding that if your BMI is 40 you only need history for 12 months. However, I did send records of my weight over the past 5 years, it showed a BMI of 36-38 with weight loss and gain. My BMI has only been over 40 for the past 6 months ( I let myself go to be sure to qualify) I do have sleep apnea, and arthritis, but that was never really documented. I did have one Doctor's notes from the sleep center. I think the main thing they really look at if you have the BMI of 40, is the 6 months of doctor supervised diet and it HAS to be 6 consecutive months. Hope this helps. I was approved quickly. The papers were submitted on a Tuesday and denied on Wednesday, the information about the 6 months diet was arranged in order and re-faxed and I was immediately approved! Yea Cigna! Call then and ask questions. I did and they were always very, very helpful!:thumbup: Good luck:thumbup:

Hey folks, I finally got on this thread. I keep getting a message that the thread is unavailble. Not that problem on other threads. Does the number of post make a difference? Anyway, I am doing great, getting ready for my pre-op low carb diet and Surgery on the 6th of June!

Welcome to all! Eagerbandi my surgery date is the 6th also! Can't wait!

Carrie: I have Cigna POS through the sate of Tennessee, I teach at a Vocational College. My surgeon is in network :biggrin2: so I only have a $100. co-pay to the hospital. I understand being scared, but most likely you will be fine. I am so ecited about this. I will finally loose weight and keep it off! I plan to do exactly as the doctors tell me. :party: Good luck and let me know how you do. I post in the June 08 thread and also in the 50s. I will look for you!:party:

I am to start a Low Carb diet on May 23, that is all they told me. I do think I have to do clear liquids 3 days before, but I will see the surgeon on the 23rd and have the pre-admit test and stuff on June 30. I suppose they will give me more instructions then. I am so ready now, but I keep having my "last supper"...:thumbup:

Hey! I am a teacher also! I teach at a Technology College, I teach Business. We have class year round, so I will just take medical leave. I have my surgery on a Friday, will miss the next week, come back to work for a week and then be off for summer break from June 23 to July 6. So I think I can handle it. In addition to that I teach adults and that is a little easier than children.
