Hello my day is Aug 5

[Baby kitty 7]

August 1st for me...can't wait! Just two more days!

[kristigo 7]

Kristigo, I'm very sorry to hear this has happened. HOWEVER, most of the peer to peer reviews I've read about result in approval. Please hang in there. Your reasons for wanting the surgery have not changed. And that's why you try. ((hugs))[/quote

I was told that the dates of the appointments are what caused denial, so hoping they get that straightened out...I'm just depressed...however Cigna told me I meet all the other criteria which is great!

[Karen Scott 117]

Hi all. I don't know who is updating the board with the surgery date but name has been deleted? I am also august 20. Thanks

awe wow sorry to hear that, however as I look at everyones experience seems like almost half of everybody gets denied first which kinda sucks..trust me I know what youre going through I had my last surgeon appointment may 30 and got a surgery date of july 15th only for them to call me bk like a week later to tell me that insurance didnt approve because they wanted me to see the dietician 2 more times oh was I bummed.. I felt let down needless to say I went to the dietician in june and july and now I have the new surgery date of august 25th..They called me yesterday to confirm the time and I can honestly say I was excited a little bit but im holding bk a little because with this whole process its almost as if you dont know whats next...all i can say is to pray about it and your time will come for sure...hang in there and smile!!!

[leelee2728 18]

I just heard from Cigna I was denied. As I sit here in tears, I was told last Friday that everything was going thru, that I should start the preop diet. Well here I am on day 2 of this DAMN liquid diet and have been told that the doc needs to resubmit paperwork and have a peer to peer review, why do I even try!!!!

Kristigo- Please don't give up. As hard, disappointing and defeating as this is, have hope. I'm sure they will work things out. Good Luck and I hope round 2 is a GO!

Here for support!

Tentatively scheduled for Aug 5

Definitely getting sleeved on Aug 5th. Started pre-op diet yesterday. Excited and nervous. Just want a successful surgery with no complications.

[kristigo 7]

I am so happy to say the peer to peer review went well, I AM APPROVED!!! AUGUST 11th!!! These last few hours were so stressful, I was mentally psyched, physically prepared, scheduled my vacation days off for these weeks . When I heard denied I fell to the floor, I was devastated. But after the review and my wonderful nurse I am back on track to have the surgery on August 11th!!!!!!!!!!

[ayscott74 99]

Kristigo I am happy to hear you got your approval same day as mine best of luck and congrats on your new lifestyle to come

[GREATFUL 24]

Well, GOOD LUCK to all of the Aug 1st ones who will be going in tomorrow. I wish you for you; calm nerves, a successful surgery, manageable pain and a speedy recovery.

I am one week out today. 7 more days..... funny but this past week of liquids has really past faster than I expected. The first few day were not good, but after that it has not been that bad. I am not saying it has all been fun, but focusing on the reason and bigger picture has help me push forward. I am so ready for next Thursday!!!

[papoose 48]

I am August 27th. Can't wait. Good luck to everyone.

My date has been changed to September 3, 2014. Good luck to everyone in August.

I head in for my preop tests, NP appt, and pick up my liquid diet supplies in a short time. Start the fun tomorrow.

I hope it's not too bad. I look at it as contributing to my weightloss goal, too. So I hope that also motivates me as I'm drinking shakes, lol.(they use New Directions)

Once nice little accomplishment today was getting below 200. The scale this morning read 199.0 OMG. The surgeon said to try to get to 200lbs by surgery. I figured with the 2 week liquid diet, I'd do it. Well...I beat it. There were plenty of off plan moments that I need to work on, but I'm pretty happy.

I'm so glad I've started this journey - otherwise my weight would be going up again and I'd be miserable.

Honey...you have just been through the wringer!!

*hugs*

Glad to hear the wonderful news!!!

Going in tomorrow! I'm nervous and excited. I don't post very often but I want to thank everyone who does. I've been lurking and learning a lot. I've been encouraged by everyone's sharing. (I'm sorry. I tend to over-think my posts and then end up not posting.)
