Hey Jpayton,

As far as the 6 month weigh ins being mandatory, that all depends on your insurance company. I can only speak in regards to Cigna. Cigna requires certain things, that being one, and I am told that if you comply with their requirements, then approval usually will come. So, to answer your question, you would have to ask your insurance company.

As far as the dietician goes, I set the appointment up from referrals I received from my primary care doc and another referral from my surgeon.

I hope this helps some.

Peace Out!

Good luck tanderson!!! :thumb:

I have cigna too and I found out on Tuesday that I am approved. My BMI is 43 as well with no cormobidities My surgeon's office submitted all the paper work to the insurace on Feb. 23. I called Cigna every week after that and last week I called every day. Still it took them 1 month to make a decision. Yesterday Cigna called my surgeon's office and I was able to schedule a my surgery for Wednesday, April 4, today I went for my pre-op cusultation and tests. I am very excited and getting everything ready for Wednesday:clap2: :whoo: :whoo: :whoo: :whoo: :whoo: :whoo: I think you'll be approve as well.:gluck:

I was very excited to read your post about your approval. I have Cigna also with a 40 BMI and no cormorbities. My surgeon will be Dr Marsden but I believe that he uses the same insurance office as Dr. Carter.
