Anyone get denied by cigna because of mental health notes? Or any reason? Did you later get approved? So very anxious. This has been a very long journey for me and then to get denied I was heart broken but am hopeful mydoctor's peer to peer with ins. Will do the trick.

Most surgeons are very good at winning approvals. They sometimes just have to clarify things and it goes right through. Don't give up; there is still hope!

I have independence blue cross - my initial submission was denied I feel your pain and devastation - had my peer to peer last week - my surgeon convinced the insurance MD to approve my VSG if I have sleep apnea - so now I'm scheduled for a sleep study - so I have riding on ONE nights sleep!! Don't give up hope - I haven't

      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.
