I'm APPROVED! Cigna 5 days!



Recommended Posts

I was approved today!!! Paperwork submitted 'Monday afternoon . I was approved by Friday at 10am. From what I have seen posted here, I was really worried. But It appears that those who are denied are denied due to missing documents or requirements. . If you do a search for Cigna Bariatric surgery, you will find a list of everything that is needed. I would make sure to check that before submitting. Good luck for all pending approvals!!

Wow 5 days! Congrats. I have Cigna too and they told me they require a 6 month supervised weight program before they approve. That sucks for me

Did you have to do the Dr supervised diet? That's all that I'm worried about!

Yes I did. I was so easy. Just a waiting game really. They just teach you to read labels and how much Protein you need to take.

Start with verifying your coverage and what Cigna requires.

Cb0419....can I ask you your BMI and co morbities. I have a low BMI and only two. Did Cigna call your surgeon with the approval and they notified you?

Oops CB I should have address that to the initial created of the thread. Still trying to figure out the site. Some posts are old and I am hoping those older posters respond to questions.

      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.
