Submitted To Cigna Today!



Recommended Posts

Well got denied. They said something is missing. The advocate at the surgeon's said not to worry. Have to resend and hopefully hear next week. Of course it wouldn't be easy for me. that's the way my life goes. Feeling kinda down right now. I hate waiting. :(

Mommybo, I have Cigna and the first time my paperwork was submitted, it was denied. It seems that wrong codes were submitted. I wish you luck and good health on your journey.

I think that this is probably common, that maybe something was overlooked or maybe a wrong code (aka cpt medical code for the procedure). Still praying for you! I belive this will work out! *Fingers crossed*

Gah! I wish, I got bumped another week, so now its Dec 5. I almost had a meltdown when the office told me that...but now its just a week away. #Nerves!

Our pre-op is very different, basically can have Protein and veggies up until 24 hrs before surgery, and then Clear liquids 24 hrs before, nothing after midnight night before...

I just get worried that I am not loosing enough (only down about 4 lbs since starting preop diet). The doc never gave me a number to loose, just said follow the diet. :S I guess in that regards i'm much luckier than some others who have to do liquid only for 2 weeks!

*sigh* just kinda want it to be here already so I can stop stressing sooo much about it.

It'll be here and over before you know it. My surgeon is the same way. liquids for just 24 hours the day before. I actually gained during this whole process, it's been so hard with quitting smoking!! I'm sure you'll do great. Keep me updated. 6 days left!

Will defintely keep you updated. Thank goodness I quit smoking when I was pregnant and didn't pick it back up, I know that is such a struggle for many people (including some of my siblings). I think that we will be just fine, as long as I just get through the next few days.

When is your surgery? Or have they told you yet since your approval?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

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

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
