roriep 23 Posted February 16, 2013 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!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrandNewMe17 3 Posted March 4, 2013 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crkrjax76 76 Posted March 7, 2013 Did you have to do the Dr supervised diet? That's all that I'm worried about! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roriep 23 Posted March 8, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ajeeprider 94 Posted April 14, 2013 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
