I am on my way....

I am so excited, Crystal just called and said that Dr. Loggins has signed off for my surgery and that they faxed everything over to Cigna today. I just cant wait to be on the "Loser's" bench.  I wonder how long it will take Cigna to approve.  Crystal said that they are booking 3 weeks out from the time of approval.  I could be on my way before xmas.  That would be so wicked cool.  Sorry to keep rambling, I'm just so very excited.  Keep praying for a quick decision.  Thanks.  Missi

Missi--  My fingers are def crossed for you! That is so exciting that Dr. Loggins has signed off already and that you could have your surgery before Xmas!  What a christmas present to yourself that would be!! Let us know as soon as you get a date! Tarka

Missi!  you are almost there!  Keep us posted, will keep my fingers crossed that they will approve you quickly!

 Hi Missi !! Congratulations !!      - Lindsay

Congratulations!  Can you believe it is almost here after such a long process!  How long was your process anyways?  How many times did you meet with Corrine?  I am just wondering because i AM PRE-OP TOO AND JUST CANNOT WAIT!  Ooops...caps.  I am done with all of my testing except a sleep study, and an appointment with Corrine (if only one not sure how many are typical).  I will then only have the psych eval which I will have to wait until after Jan 1 because of an insurance switch.  I just can't wait to be where you are----waiting for the final approval and date! Congrats!

go2girl,  I had my first appt with Dr. Loggins on July 17th.  I have only seen Corrine twice, but due to Cigna I had started all of my weight management visits with my primary care, so I allready had 4 visits with my pcp done when I started with Corrine.  So, really it hasnt been that long.  Thanks for all the finger crossing.  I dont expect to hear anything at all this week due to the holidays.  I will post as soon as I  hear something.  Thanks.  Missi

What surgery will they be doing? Lap Band or RNY?  Best of luck to you!  And we can't wait to see that post "I've got a Date!" 

CONGRATULATIONS MISSI ! You have every right to be excited as this IS a wonderful gift to be giving yourself. Looking forward to seeing a post with your surgery date. We're all here cheering you on and keeping our fingers crossed and our prayers going. You'll be joining the loser's bench before you know it!

Congrats and good luck! I got CIGNA denial and then approval by appeal in about a 2 week process. I think it probably just depends on how backed up they are when your paperwork arrives.
