Waiting and Worried!

Betsyjane, I was approved by Cigna after I turned in my 6 mos supervised diet. I ended up gaining 1 lb. I lost 7 or 8 here and there and then ended up gaining it all back at the end of the 6 months. My surgeon turned in my paperwork and 1 day later I was approved. Of course all insurance companies are different.

Iam from Kentucky and have UHC. I called them and they stated that the operation is covered at 90% after $100 deduct. My friend from work has the same insurance and didn't have to pay anything. I haven't turned in my paper work to get things started but will update yall when I find out something. Seems like everyone is getting different anwsers. Keep me posted and Good Luck!

I went from having BCBS, which didn't cover the lap band to Cigna which does cover the procedure. But now I am bummed b/c of this horrible process that you have to go through. I don't have the comorbidities listed by my insurance but am infertile, have a disk problem w/chronic back pain and have urinary incontinence. Are these comorbities enough, for Cigna? I saw my doctor for six months but only saw her monthly for the first 3 or 4 months. I am hoping that this along w/weight watchers will be enough.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
