Hi everyone, I just got all my information submitted to my insurance company today. I have Cigna PPO and I hope everything goes well. I gave them all that they requested and them some. I'm a stay at home Mom of 2 children and I'm 5ft 2 in and weight 205. My BMI is 37. My only problem is that I'm kinda of on a time line here. We change insurance company to BC/BS of GA at the end of Sept. So in need to get this approved and done by the end of the month. The good part of Cigna is that we have met all the deductables, even our out of pocket which mean the surgury would be covered at 100%. What are my chances of this happening???? My doctors office advised me to start calling the insurance company by Thursday if we don't here from them.

Does anyone have any advise on how to make this happen any faster.

I send them the 6 month's letter from the doctor on my weight in's and dieting progess. A letter of recomindation from the same doctor. A diet history as far back as I could remember, a letter from the phys. therapist and dietation. A letter from the phychologist, from my OBGYN and Chiropractor, and blood work.

Do you think that I covered it all? I probably sent them too much information and they are going to wonder why!!!!

Anyway, LOVE this site. I've reading it for a while now and just decided to tell my story to you all. Wish me luck in jounrey of the lap-band world. I'm so exicited to have this done, I think this will make a big difference in my life.

Thanks in advance for any advise!!!!

Terry
