Well I began my journey in January with my first visit with the NUT and at that time my insurance, CIGNA, required a 6 month supervised diet. I found out yesterday that CIGNA has revised their policy effective 5/5/12 to only require a 3 month supervised diet. I called my surgeons office this morning and they have started the ball rolling with my insurance so now I am waiting for my approval from the insurance company then I will get my date. I am so excited. I thought this day would never come!!!!!!

Anyone have CIGNA? How long did it take for approval!!!!

I started in Nov. Completed my 6 mth supervised diet April 4th and paperwork was submitted a week later to Cigna. Still waiting on approval. They were real fast with rejection, sd needed 6th mth visits submitted on seperate paperwork by itself instead of each months doctors visit notes. They had a peer to peer meeting with my surgeon and as of yesterday they still had nothing from Cigna. My Doctors office is hoping to have decision from insurance by Friday. Hopefully you'll have a better experience than what I have been having.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
