Recommended Posts

JacobsMommy, did you ever hear anything?? I just got the call from my surgeons office that I have been APPROVED and I have a surgery date of June 18th so I guess those fools at cigna lied to me about it being denied again after peer to peer. If you get denied I would ask for a peer to peer! Best of luck to all still fighting and waiting for their surgeries to get approved..continued prayers!

OMG congratulations! It's about time! I cannot wait to hear about your progress. I called yesterday and I should know by Friday. The coordinator gave me a date for May 22nd in faith that all will be approved. I am preparing in faith. *sighs*

I've actually had a good experience with Cigna ... I used true results .... From the beginning Cigna said I had to show 4 months of consecutive monitored weightloss and then it would be covered at 100%. They submitted me to insurance on April 17th I was approved by April 25th I was very shocked especially after they told me Cigna was the worst ... I wish you the best of luck

My dr. Office turned in the paperwork to Cigna on May 14 and I had my ore-op appt at that time as well. Surgery is set for June 5th. I haven't heard from anyone since my last appt but have been out of state too. Will Cigna send me an approval letter first or do you think my dr will know first? The office said that Cigna has been good at approving within a week or two. I can't wait til tuesday to call and see if anyone knows more.

      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.
