Sent in for request for approval today

Hello Gang, I just wanted to ask for your prayers, my paperwork was sent in for approval today. I can't beleive it. It has been over a years since I began this journey, and God willing I am almost there. I just don't know what to think. I feel a whole bunch of negativiity heading my way. I need some encouragement. I am waiting as patiently as possible without being a stick in the mud. Why am I feeling like this??? Waiting for approval Diane

While I write this I pray for your approval - and wish you the best in your journey. My surgery is scheduled sometime in May. I know how you must feel, I feel I have been obsessed with wls.

Diane, I am there with you.... waiting.... waiting... waiting... I call once a week and all I get is that it is still being reviewed... sigh! I'm trying to stay positive about it. I hear the waiting is the hardest part. And Becky, I have Cigna insurance... so.... I know it's an uphill battle. I am in prayer for this and ask others to join me. My request was rec on 3/31 in the dept that reviews it and they tell me it can take 30 days ... so.... I pray by the end of April I'll have an approval...I pray we both will!

Do you Cigna people know of the Squeekywheels Yahoo group? It has really helped me, and for those of you, that have delt w/ Cigna and won, especially Becky, we ALL need your help and input on that message board. Tracy, I suggest getting on it too. I love everyone there, and here too. If you go to Yahoo, then to Groups, type in Cigna and then look for Squeekywheels, it is awesome. Thanks for everyones encouragment. I will keep you posted.Thanks for the encouragement. Positive, positive positive thats how I am tring to stay. Love You People. Diane

I think I know how you feel Diane. I am so excited to have this process underway yet some friends and family members seem to put a damper on my joy. I am sure they mean well when they say "But you could DIE from that" but it doesn't do anything for my spirit ya know? We WILL make this journey together...and we WILL be different people when it's over and done. I'm excited! Good Luck! Robin
