I just left my PCP's office for my 4th month of supervised dieting! YaY!! I still have not chosen a surgeon though.

Does anyone know what the rules are as far as weight loss of a supervised diet? I have Cigna ins.

I haven't heard much about the rules of a supervised diet. If you lose too much they will deny the surgery...if you don't lose anything it might look suspicious.

I have Cigna and my employer exclued weight loss surgery. So you have a pretty good employer if they left WLS in the plan.

I have finished about 2 1/2 months of my supervised diet. I have Cigna HRA (SHBP-I'm a teacher). I'm not sure about the rules though. I've been worried about what happens if I lose too much or not enough during the supervised diet. I haven't been 100% sticking to it, but I am getting better as time goes by so that hopefully by the time surgery arrives I will be ready for the changes. Good luck!!

I have Cigna SHPB too. I also have the same concern. I want the DS surgery which requires a bmi of 50+. My bmi is about 51 now, so if I lose anything the surgery will be denied. I admit I have been self sabatoging to keep my bmi up. Do you think they will deny it if I don't lose anyting. So far, I have lost about 7 lbs and I have 3 more months to go.

I am looking into the Lap Band and my bmi is 46 so I'm not worried about losing too much weight.

I've lost around 2 lbs per month since I started. Three this past month. But I'm nost sure what the rules are though.
