Cigna & Intracorp

I have Cigna POS Open Access. Completed all my tests, nutr. eval and psych eval. Have date for pre-testing (10/15) and surgery date (10/21) but was told this past Monday that Intracorp has denied my surgery. My benefits state that the surgery has to be medically necessary not for weight control but the denial says that they want documentation that I was on a professionally monitored diet in the last six months. Did anyone else have this problem? I have been waiting for this surgery since August '02 and am very depressed that my surgery may be delayed for another six months. Any help is greatly appreciated!
