:kiss2::clap2::whoo:My request for lapband authorization was submitted on Nov. 1. It was approved on Nov. 4. I am still in shock. I don't have it in writing yet but I have the approval number. I'll post my surgery date as soon as I know it.

This gives me a whole new meaning to "down side"!

Congrats!!!!:confused: I have to ask what proof did you have to give them to show that you qualified? Did you have a five year in a row weight history?

You are giving me hope. My paperwork is to be submitted by Friday to Cigna. I so bad want my surgery before Thanksgiving and there is a huge possibility it could happen if Cigna is on the ball and approves me next week. I am so crossing my fingers and toes!!!!

Congratulations to you.

NEWLIFE! Congratulations on getting your approval! I think I read earlier that you're going with Dr. Blackstone. Keep us posted when you get you're band date! You have worked so hard to get your approval. Good job!:clap2:

A word of praise! The insurance coordinator called me today and said that apparently the way my insurance is set up, after I jumped through all their hoops, I was automatically qualified and approved! that came MUCH faster than I thought it would!!!!!!!!!! I just submitted to insurance on the 7th.

I will have surgery the last week of November. WOW that is just a few weeks away! I already have the 30th set up as a surgery date, but I think I will bump it up a couple days to make sure my stay in the hospital is covered. I think if I have surgery on the 30th, and get discharged on the 1st of December, they may not cover the first, because I canceled the insurance on the first of Dec.

enough of my rambling... this is really going to happen!
