I have Cigna shbp. It took only about 3 hours to get my approval. I had a case manager walk my application through the chain of command.

I had a DS- Duodenal Switch 11 months ago. I am down 145 pounds and still losing!!!

I notice your BMI is 60. The DS will give you the best results for amount of weight lost and long term results keeping it off. You will also enjoy the most "normal" eating lifestyle of all the wls because you can eat normal sizes portions with very little restrictions on the type of food you will be able to eat.

It may be worth researching to see if you would be a candidate.

Please check out dsfacts.com and the DS forum before your surgery to get more info on DS :-)

Also you can PM me for info any time.

WHY I CHOSE DS: No dumping. Highest percentage of weight loss, Best long term results, Won't regain weight! Eat normal sized meals, 96% diabeties, 90% high blood pressure, 80% sleep apnea cured.                                    I  MY DS!

I guess it was my husband's plan that didn't offer the DS then. As of May they both became available on my plan. Prior it was only RNY & band. Either way, yay CIGNA!!
