I am in the process of trying to get approved for the MGB. I have been working with my PCP and have an appointment in early September to get everything I need from her. I have submitted my paperwork to CIGNA and will call to follow up with them soon. I have my own paperwork completed and will send it in after I see my PCP. I really know this surgery is the what I want and need. I have gotten such great info from Dr. R's Web site and from contacting some of his patients from the Midwest. But it makes the wait even harder. I wish I could have the MGB today. I wanted to join this list to keep my mind focused and hear from people who are waiting like me and from people who have gone through the process. I think hearing eveyone's stories really helps prepare you for what to expect. My stats Weight 258, Height 5'2 " , BMI 47 >> Hi , Welcome!

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2000 Report Share Posted August 18, 2000 Hi , Thanks for your support - I went to your Web page and printed out the info on insurance. Really great advice! I sent in the paperwork about a 9 days ago, so I will give them a call to see where it stands. I think this e-mail list will really help during the wait. > > > > Hi all, > > I'm from Illinois and new to this group. > > Welcome aboard! > > I am in the process of > > trying to get approved for the MGB.
