CIGNA APPROVED ME!



Recommended Posts

I went through True Results..yesterday was my last visit of the four weight loss consultations that was required and I have completed everything else that Cigna has required but the insurance coordinator said that because my PCPs letter did not say it was a medical necessity that I may not be approved. It did say he thought I was a good candidate and I have HBP with a BMI of 43. I am hoping that I get a quick approval like u.. But either way congrats and good luck...

Hi CJ

My PCP letter did not state it was medical necessary, just that I was a good candidate. I got approved in 5 days.

They only initially approve one night, but your surgeon should notify the hospitals billing/insurance certification office while you are in if you medically need the extra day. I was approved for one day but stayed two.

My surgeon did not require anything preop. Postoperative nutrition has been a struggle :(. Hard getting all my Fluid and Protein still. I get full really quick and I just finally found a Protein Powder I like. Hoping that will help me start meeting my target. I know you are excited! Keep us all posted.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
