I have a question that I'm hoping someone has insight into.  I will be able to submit for insurance approval on 1/5.  I've been told that things are often slow right at the beginning of the year and that typically turn around from insurance company is pretty quick (Cigna). Does anyone have insight into this or have experience here?

Also, I was told that January is typically a slow month for the bariatric surgeon (NUT said that often people are in a rush to get them in before the end of the year or are just starting the process in January as part of a NY Resolution).  Does anyone have insight or experience here as well?  I'm really, REALLY hoping that I can get on the schedule for January.

Thanks!!

actually,the ppl on this board have no idea what your surgeons schedule is like or what the turn around for your insurance company is.

Thanks Hollykim. I do realize nobody has a crystal ball specific to my situation but was wondering if other Cigna or January surgery patients had info based on their own experiences. Maybe I just worded the post wrong. Thanks anyway.
