I have cigna healthcare of Texas PPO, and I had no problems with my approval. I weighed 246 before my surgery on May 13th, and now I weigh 205. Dr. Hamn submitted the paperwork in early January for a VGB and it was approved in February. I called them and they said as long as the surgeon thinks it is medically necessary it would be approved. I also used an innetwork doctor and hospital; maybe this helped also. If you have any questions e-mail me! This was the best decision I have ever made!

I have cigna PPO,and I was approved the first time. Kind of touch and go there for awhile. I had Cigna POS last year and was denied due to not having 3 medically supevised attempts. I was on merida for 14 months and lost about 5 lbs altogher. This time submitted same info to Cigna PPO with the new diet attempt and it was approved. Give them a call and tell them exactly what you are wanting to do and ask plenty of questions...email [email protected] for more info.....Good Luck
