I'm located in Texas. I haven't been scheduled yet, but my surgeon discussed with me I would be on the pre-opt diet for three days.

Just found out today that Cigna approved my surgery and we scheduled it for August 16th.

I am so ready.

Congrats! I have Cigna as well. How long did it take for them to approve it?

Not long at all. They faxed everything in to Cigna on 6/14 and I got the call this morning that it was approved.

that is some uplifting news! I hope mine goes that fast, I will be done with everything on July 5th.

I'm scheduled for August 21st. They have to schedule my pre-op appointment with the nutritionist and then I meet with my surgeon sometime in early August. What state is everyone located in? I'm in North Carolina.

I am hoping to have mine in August. All I need is my psych eval and from what I have read here tricare only takes a couple of days to approve it! Super excited ready to drop this wait and pick up a new attitude!

I am in Florida and I am currently jumping thru all the hoops to get all my clearances done for surgery. I have a tentative surgery date of august 21st. I havent gotten any insurance approval yet. All of these appointments are frustrating.

Mine is scheduled for August 16! I keep going back and forth between being really nervous and really excited! Just can't wait to be done with surgery and recovery and start this new journey! I am trying to get into a workout routine now.

Me too! 8/16!!

I'm in Florida also. I have been approved by my insurance with an anticipated date of June 29th, which I know is not going to happen. My surgeon has me jumping through all kind of hoops. I had to see pulmonalogist because I use to smoke and I snore. They running all kind of test. Just had to get an chest x-ray done, got a call this morning that I have enlarged thyroids and he will not be clearing me for surgery until I get that under control.

I've jumped through all of my hoops over the last six months. I meet with the surgeon on July 5. I am hoping for an august date.

Im a little nervous because the upper GI shows that I have some reflux, so I'm hoping I can still get the sleeve. With my current life situation, I can't do the bypass because of the long recovery time. Maybe in a few years. I'm really hoping to get approved for the sleeve.

Ive made all of the changes- added exercise, cut back on quantity of food, and greatly improved the quality. I'm feeling really good, so even if I don't get approved for surgery, the changes I've made will continue to help me improve my life.

I hear you, my list was long as well. Has taken me months to get through it. But I've heard from people in my local support group who disnt have to jump through hoops and meet nutritionists, etc...and they are the people struggling the most. As they say, trust the process
