I called Cigna this morning and was told that my file should have an answer this afternoon. I just called back and was told I'm authorized... aka APPROVED on the first try! I called the surgeon's office and I'm on the list to receive a scheduling call tomorrow! :) It won't feel real until I'm scheduled and receive the official letter, but I am SO close!!!!!!

Thank you ladies! It has NOT been easy, but it will be worth it! I've jumped through many hoops and lost MANY hours of sleep stressing over this for almost a YEAR now (started researching lapband in July 2011 and switched to VSG in September 2011). I'm so ready to move on from the insurance processing!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
