I have Cigna too. Keep us posted. Those at work who have had the surgery have told me it took two weeks for approval.

Mine is being submitted around Oct 16th. I'm hoping they go ahead and schedule my surgery without the approval so I can get started with the pre-op but who knows!

I'm new here but saw that you are all with Cigna. My job just started with Cigna so I'm interested in seeing how it goes. Good luck.

I will keep you in the loop. I feel pretty good about it since there are about 5 people at work who were approved. :)

I have cigna as well and my paperwork is being sent in this afternoon. The ins coordinator told me her last couple of patients that had Cigna took the full 30 days to process. I am still going to call them next week to make sure they bot the packet and are working on it.

Ugh - I don't have 30 days to mess around with CIGNA when I submit. My insurance is most likely changing because our company is being re-organized, so they need to make this decision quick. Not to mention, the waiting up until this point has been sooooo hard as it is!

      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.
