Harvard Pilgrim insurance is amazing!! I recieved approval within 24 hours. I have been so very concerned about this that I had not really thought about this as something that would really happen to me so soon. I am going tomorrow to meet with the surgeon and set my surgery date!!! Wow - although I started this process initially in early January - this went by so fast!

If you have an option - chose Harvard Pilgrim!!

:eek::thumbup:

Good for you! I am meeting my surgeons tomorrow to set a date also. Maybe we will be around the same time. I have Harvard Pilgrim and they have been great. Where are you going to get yours done? I am going to Norwood.

Congrats! How exciting! Harvard Pilgrim was amazing to work with, and approved me in a very short time as well:) Best of luck to you both!

Hello-

Yes, tomorrow, but I am going to Faulkner Hospital. I hope to schedule the surgery for the second week of May- what date are you thinking of?

My date is going to be April 8th. I was so shocked. Things are going so smoothly. I start my preop diet on Sunday.

I got my band in Norwood by Dr. Adam Glasgow. They really do a good job over there. I assume you're having one of the Drs. Glasgow too. They're both wonderful.

Good luck on the 8th. Maybe I'll see you at support group, or maybe I've already met you over there.

I went to a support group meeting last Tuesday. It was really crowded. I did not expect to see so many people. It was very informative. Arthur answers any questions I have. I am so glad I found them.

Their support group has never been as crowded as it was this past Tuesday. There's usually about half as many people as were there. I prefer it when there's less people - more personal, less rushed.

Again, good luck on 4/8.

Take care.
