Cigna ??'s

I am curious about a the six month diet!

1) I have completed six month diet. I only lost on my first weigh in! Is that going to hurt me? My BMI is about 37 and I have co morbities. I am planning to weigh in one more time just to cover the six months (not sure what they consider 6 months, I started in October)

I don't think they really look at the weight loss. I think they just want to make sure you're staying consistent.

My advice: Make sure when you go to submit your paperwork, you have EVERYTHING. food journal, weigh in's supervised a doctor, all the necessary tests they required, a letter of necessity.

They're pretty good with approving IF you have all your ducks lined up.

But, if in the case you get denied... keep calling, find out what you're missing.

I was denied at first, and was HEARTBROKEN. I called and asked what all they needed. I got all that stuff.... And, was quickly approved. No appeal needed

GOOD LUCK

I didn't lose any during my 6 months. But I was very diligent about having all the paperwork and records of everything. Cigna gave me no problems. good luck!

Thanks so much for the quick replies! One more question...... I have not ben told about food logs from my insurance or the surgeon. Is this something that is needed all across the board?

I think the food logs is just something extra you can do but don't have to do. I have Cigna and I am not required to have food logs. If you decide to keep a food log, myfitnesspal.com is a great source. I use it. You can log all you eat and your exercise.
