Waiting and Worried!

Betsyjane, I was approved by Cigna after I turned in my 6 mos supervised diet. I ended up gaining 1 lb. I lost 7 or 8 here and there and then ended up gaining it all back at the end of the 6 months. My surgeon turned in my paperwork and 1 day later I was approved. Of course all insurance companies are different.

Iam from Kentucky and have UHC. I called them and they stated that the operation is covered at 90% after $100 deduct. My friend from work has the same insurance and didn't have to pay anything. I haven't turned in my paper work to get things started but will update yall when I find out something. Seems like everyone is getting different anwsers. Keep me posted and Good Luck!

I went from having BCBS, which didn't cover the lap band to Cigna which does cover the procedure. But now I am bummed b/c of this horrible process that you have to go through. I don't have the comorbidities listed by my insurance but am infertile, have a disk problem w/chronic back pain and have urinary incontinence. Are these comorbities enough, for Cigna? I saw my doctor for six months but only saw her monthly for the first 3 or 4 months. I am hoping that this along w/weight watchers will be enough.
