What's Crappenin' Everyone? Glad to see people are doing well. I just had a quick question for some of the vets on the board. Dr. Robinson @ BWH has scheduled me for surgery on 3/17/2010. His Office Manager (can't remember her name but she is an absolute sweetheart) said she would submit the request for approval to my Insurance Company, Harvar Pilgrim. My question is, about how long does it take to actually hear something from the company? And, if I were to hear anything, would it be from them or Dr. Robinson's office? From what I have heard, HPHC is one of the easier companies to get approval from. Thanks in advance!

Happy New Year Everyone! I have been lurking on this board as a guest for a few months now and finally decided that it was time to join. I am just your ordinary 34 year old "Masshole" guy looking to change his life. Not too much to ask for, right? I started the LB process in October 2009 and am tentatively scheduled for surgery on 3/17/10 with Dr. Malcolm Robinson at the Brigham. Yup, that's right, on St. Patty's Day! I just want to say that it is great to read all of your amazing stories and what you have gone through. For the newbies such as myself, this board has been tremendous source of information and inspiration. I look forward to getting to know the "Mass. Bandsters" and hopefully continuing to help each other out!
