starting the ball rolling....
Aug 25, 2007
Well I have been doing the leg work on the internet. I ran of the criteria that CIGNA requires to be met before they will cover GBS. I have looked up lists of dieticians, mental health counselors and surgeons okayed by CIGNA. I first called CIGNA to make sure if there was anything stated on my insurance denying coverage of GBS and there wasn't anything specifically stated about that soooo I printed out their coverage stance on GBS and all the criteria to be met. I have been in contact with my doctor's nurse who already had GBS done for herself and she's lost 160 lbs so far. She's been helping me get things together. She even told me about this website. I've also spoken with my Dad and he's going to help me when I need help with paying copays to see the specialists I have to see and all the visits I will have to make. I see my dr this coming Friday to start everything going. The big thing is to get the physician directed weight management program going and get the documentation of all that started. Sort of excited and nervous at the same time. I have only told my parents and the godmother of my 2 children;I've known her for 16 yrs now. She's seen my struggle all those years and the last valiant effort I made on my own to lose weight with diet and exercise on my own where I lost over 140 lbs, but have regained 80 lbs topping at around 300-310 lbs now, once again. That's all for today
