Guest blessed!

I have Cigna insurance. Did anyone else have a problem getting approval? I have been through 2 denials, but still hopeful. I have met all the requirements they have asked for including 6 months under a doctor's care in weight management. In November my doc is resubmitting everything to try again. 3rd times a charm right???? Any suggestions??

I have Cigna...denied in Jan 05 after doing all the prerequist...They said I didn't have 6 consequetive months of seeing a dr. about weight lost issues...Now they don't pay for weight consultations so I went with back pain,blood pressure, pain in general...etc and then discussed weight loss and my progress while I was there.. and as soon as my 6 months were up they Approved!!!Good luck ..it can be done...P.S. I friend of mine did this at the same time and she lost weight on the 6 month dr plan and then they denied her cause she was now not over 100lbs over weight...

I have Cigna too! My paperwork is in their hands as I type this all 99 pages of it. I hope they approve me. I dont know why this has to be so difficult for all of us.

      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.
