Guest guest Posted March 10, 2000 Report Share Posted March 10, 2000 -- thank you for the words of encouragement. I will have to wait until next week to gather all of the STUFF I need to start fighting. But, I am NOT going to stop because this is my life we're talking about, not some cosmetic procedure I'm doing because I want to look better. Hells bells, I'm a 51 year old grandma! I called Cigna BEFORE I signed up with them during open enrollment, and they said that the WLS was NOT excluded, but not automatically included -- done on a case-by-case basis and depending on whether or not you met specific criteria. When the person I was talking to read the criteria, I met/exceeded ALL of them ... so that's why I took this insurance. I will get a copy of the policy and start my homework. I appreciate your thoughts ... and Rexanne - thanks for your call earlier today. I will try to give you a call over the weekend! It was thoughtful of you to do ... ;o) Ann >^:^< >^:^< >^:^< >^:^< >^:^< >^:^< >^:^< >^:^< >^:^< >^:^< >^:^< CAMPmode/MEDICA Dept. of Mechanical Engineering University of Colorado Boulder CO 80309-0427 Phone: Fax: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
