I met my surgeon when I did the consultation back in march prior to me starting the process... I was given a "dummy date".. I just completed the process and the surgeon office is sending all my information over to the insurance company for approval.. if approved I meet the surgeon again Oct 3 for pre-op diet plan and my surgery date would be Oct 19th

OMG.... I'm in trouble then if you pinch me to hard I bruise....

will do

what a long process. now I play the the waiting game to see if Cigna approves it . I've done waaaaay more than they required .. FINGERS CROSSED

im waiting for approval from Cigna too.. I don't have sleep apnea either... My BMI is over 40 too... no major health issues but high blood pressure and heart disease runs in my family on both sides

I KEEP SEEING WHERE HAIR LOSS HAPPENS AFTER ABOUT 2-3 MONTHS AFTER SURGEON... HOW LONG DOES IT LAST FOR ?

that's what im afraid of but my hair is so freaking thick it might not be that bad well I hope its not....

i wished I never told some people but at the end of the day this is my body and my life so im gonna do whats best for me.

thank you .... I am content with my decision and NO ONE can change it... I even started a partime job to keep myself busy and away from certain people... my mom boyfriend and son are my biggest supporters ...

thanks.. it sucks when your so call friends cant support you the way you want them to

Where do I began I have been on this journey since March 13, 2017. I started off with 2 insurance companies Cigna as primary and Ct Husky A as secondary only to find out in late July that Husky cut me off April 30 due to my son turning 18 the following month so the whole time Im thinking I would be 100% covered if Cigna doesn't pay for it completely... I have my date for surgery which is OCT 19,2017.. I been back and forth on the phone the live chats online with cigna to get a better understanding on what they will pay and what i would have to pay. My deductible is met and i have a remaining $3,030 for my out of pocket to be met, not too worried because i still have a few doctor appointments left, so i know the out of pocket will be met... My plan will pay the IN-Network contracted rate amount 100% im just happy the the Surgeon and facility are both in-network.....

where in CT are you from and who was your surgeon?

thank you... i screenshot the online chat ,taped the phone conversation... wait that might be illegal lol but i hate for someone to say they didn't tell me something

im still in the process, but the good thing for me is that I have a lot of friends who has had the surgery and they give me the REAL RAW stuff about what i should look forward to

I was thinking the same thing but then again i thought to myself how bad do i want this weight GONE

does anyone have Cigna and did they cover 100% cost of surgery?

I believe that's what my plan is but If I reach the remaining out of pocket which is $3,030 then they cover it 100%

im scheduled for 10/19/2017
