I have Cigna Open Access and got approved first try and within 5 days. Hubby just submitted to insurance about a week ago too and they came back with approval within 5 days too.

I don't think the 3 month results from Weight Watchers will work. They are looking for 3 months of consistent monthly check-ins with your PCP following a doctor supervised diet.

Good Luck!

Thanks! Ok the nurse said they will accept it I guess I'll find out soon. But the office that I'm going to offered a three and six month program also. I did the first one which actually part of the NUT program and went to the second meeting then found out I didn't need it because of WW records. They didn't charge me so if they submit in next week and turn me down I can do third month with them n get approved. Okay in kinda of bummed now. Also worried my insurance may change in March n new insurance may not cover it.

      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.
