Hi everyone, I've completed my nut eval and my 3 months with my pcp. My BMI is 40 and I don't have any of the other illnesses to go with it. I have my psych eval next week. I'm so afraid of being denied. Please help, any advice? Is there anyone out there that has Cigna that got approved with no high blood pressure, sleep apnea etc?

I'm in the same boat but my BMI is only 36. Heard someone was like me and had high cholesterol and got approved. Plan to have that checked. With your 40 BMI surely you will.

I sure hope so, I will let you know how it goes. My goal is to lose weight and get healthy before I get these bad things. Just about all of these illnesses run in my family so its bound to happen to me too if I don't fix the problem now. I think the high cholesterol should make u a good candidate for the surgery too. Keep us updated

Approved last Friday!!! How long should it take to get a actually surgery date? It's been a week and the office hasn't called me to schedule it yet. I've called and left messages but no response yet, maybe I'm too anxious.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
