Talking I was approved today!
After a year long struggle with insurance companies, and stupid doctors, I was approved by Cigna this morning. Whew. What a load off my back. I am so excited, and yet fearful of what is to come. Just thought that I would share.. and there is hope.. you just have to do it the way that THEY want you to do it. Hooray! Surgery Date is 11/6/07. Couldn't be happier. Thank you God!

Congrats. I had a hard time with Cigna also. I found if you fight them they will give in.

That's great news! It's such a relief when the red tape is completed and you have a date. That's a big step! Congrats!
