11-25-03 for two days now I have been looking at photos in the photo gallery and I am so depressed. I dont think I'll ever get approved. I just want to be a normal person. I hate this. All of the waiting is driving me nuts. I feel like my hands are tied though. I dont know if there is anything else I can do. I am screaming inside. I pray to God everyday that the Cigna will just approve the surgery.

I have had several apps. with my surgeon and my 1st and appeal letter were both denied. Cinga says its not medically necessary. I went to my pcp about it(i hadnt spoke with him previously, just the surgeon). He did an upper gi and x-rays on my knees. I have a large hyadle hernia, but no arthritis. I suppose my knees just hurt so bad b/c of the weight. I hope this helps. He is writing me a letter to send to Cigna. If all else fails, during open enrollment at work, I changed my insurance company to Anthem. That will take affect Jan 1st. I really hope I dont have to wait that long. Its been well over a year now since I began persueing this.
