hey Aimee. I am SO clueless about how to get around this site, lol - I didn't even know you have left me a message, sorry it took me a few days to get back to you. As for insurance, the woman that runs my surgeons office is very experienced also and said the same thing to me that your dr's office said to you - not to worry. I will find out this Thurs because I have my last $200 nutritionist appointment and pre op testing. I can't believe my surgery is next week!!! Yikes, lol. I'll keep you posted with what I find out. Thanks so much for writing to me. If you want to keep in touch while I'm in the hospital so that I can tell you all the gorey details, LOL, you can follow me on Twitter (OhSoStacy) or privately at FatBeGoneStacy@aol.com. Stacy

Hello. I have Cigna but I have not had any paperwork submitted yet. I hope to have my surgery in October. My last 6 month pcp visit will be Aug. 3,09. Everything else will be done at the point. Please keep me posted. The person handling submitting paperwork at my surgeons office says she is experienced and as long as I do my part I will be approved. Good luck to you. Hope you get a speedy answer.
