Submitted to Cigna TODAY! 8/7/12

 Hi.  I am not sure that my surgery will be in August...probably more like September...but I hope I can still join the group as I don't see a September group.  My paperwork was submitted to Cigna today, 8/7/12.  My doctor said that Cigna normally replies in 15-30 days.  Any of you care to share how your approval process was?  Any of you have Cigna?  I am thrilled they dropped their Dr. supervised weight loss from 6 to 3 months.  I understand that was a recent change.

I am 300 pounds and have a BMI of 48.  It seems like a long road, but am excited for the journey.  I have chosen the Sleeve.  I have Factor V Leiden disease...which means my blood clots faster than average...and am on blood thinners.  My surgeon and PCP feel confident that they can accomadate my needs with that.  

Thank you for any advice and encouragement!
