My paperwork was sent to Cigna on Thursday.  Everyone keep their fingers crossed for me.  2004,2005 weight didn't meet criteria but with all of my health problems and the letter from my PCP I hope I get approved.  If I don't what will I need to do next?

Hang in there 911!  The waiting game is probably the hardest thing you will have to do.  Give it a few days, and give them a call.  Keep us informed!

I'll let you know.  Pam Davis with Centennial spoke at the seminar I attended and she said sometimes the insurance companies will respond back within a couple of weeks and others will take the full 45 days to respond.  I hope it don't take that long.  I want to get approved the first time so I can look hot by summer.

I'll wait with you!!! My paperwork went to BcBS of TN today, so we are on about the same schedule. Friday I found out that I have been called to jury duty for October, November and December. I explained to them that I hope to be having surgery during this time , but they said I have to show up on October 3rd and give them a definate date for my surgery. I probably won't even have approval by then. Always something. I'm worried that maybe I ddin't have enough proof of trying to lose weight before.

I also worry about the proof.  I didn't start putting on this extra weight until about 3 years ago, I'm sure it is from all the stress I've been going thru with my parents but I can't seem to get it off by myself.  I'm just wandering what my next step would be if I get denied.  Am I going to have to wait 2 years so I'll have 5 years of weight totals?

I had to show 5 years of weights, but I had at least 7years.

I was worried about being approved as well.  My doctor's scales would not weigh me.  So, my 5 years of medical records had no weights on them.  However, my doctor wrote a letter to the insurance company explaining.  I don't have BCBS.  However, you might want to call them and check in.  My surgeons office submitted the information on a Friday morning.  When I called the insurance company on the following Tuesday, they told me that I had been approved.  I had actually been approved the same day.  Another friend with a different insurance company was approved the same day as well.  So, never hurts to call and ask :)  Good luck!

My wife had BCBS.  They requested 5 years of weight data, but she was in the same boat as you, the scales would not weigh her.  So BCBS allowed her to submit pictures that were dated.  This was a way for her to circumnavigate the system!
