berniec 166 Posted April 16, 2012 Thanks I'm so excited but your date is around the corner how are you feeling and hows the liquid diet? The liquid diet isn't too bad. I have my good and bad days. I'm only on day 7 and I have 7 more to go. I think the problem is I'm used to snacking. I've come too far to mess up now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cigna was mine and it was not easy but my denial was a mistake on my doctors behalf they missed paperwork so of course since it was denied I had to appeal it the two weeks later it was approved Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
