Can You Hear Me Now?

Oct 11, 2009

Well, it's been a loooong summer. Time marches (or limps) on... and so do I. Still dieting, still exercising and STILL WAITING!

All my records have been submitted to Cigna. After two requests from Cigna for additional information -- a letter of medical necessity and a correction of one date -- I am waiting... and waiting... and waiting. Actually, it's only been 5 days since the last round of "we need more information" -- but when added to everything else, it feels like forever! They were very quick with their first two "no's". I hope that the silence this time is a good thing, but the waiting is hard.

Everyone on my medical team says it's in the bag for me - that I meet all the criteria, have two co-morbidities, etc. From their mouths to god's ears!

I have lost almost 10% of my body weight on Weight Watchers doing the Cigna-required 6 month diet. I have actually started maintenance there, because I am just on the edge of 35 BMI. Don't want to get too skinny before I get that approval!

Crossing fingers for that "APPROVED" letter next week. I wonder if the mailman thinks I have a crush on him -- rushing out to the mailbox fast as I can every day?
