looking for cigna approval

i a am looking to talk to someone who has been approved with cigna insurance and to know about the process i am currently on my 6 month diet plan.

 Cigna told me I had to do a 3 month diet plan, whi*****ludes seeing my PCP, a nutritionist, and join an exercise program.  I guess my official "start date" would be Aug. 5, that's when I saw my doctor, and joined a gym.  I'm hoping after I complete this they will approve.  The surgeon's office seems to think everything will go through, I hope they are right.

Good luck on your journey, keep me updated.  

my cigna plan also required 6 months. It started 8/31.. yeah, we are in it for the long haul

i haven't been approved yet (although everything's being sent to cigna this week!), but my cigna plan required me to do the 6 month diet, a nutrition apt, and a aquire psychiatric approval.  my surgeon also made me have an edg.  my only reccomendation is to get all of the other appointments overwith before the end of your 6 month diet, so that way when you're done with the 6 months, your PCP can write a letter and send it off. good luck :)

 I also have Cigna, I did my 6 month diet.  Finished on August 20, 2010.  Surgeon sent over stuff to Cigna on September 23, 2010.  I called the following Monday and they told me there is a 30 day pre-determination and so far its been 15 days.  Everyday I call and they tell me they still have time.  I know someone else who had to wait the 30 days for them to approve.  Hopefully they move a little quicker.
