Debbie72001 0 Posted April 18, 2010 Hi Everyone: I have Harvard Pilgrim and am wondering how long people have waited for approval. I am a 38 bmi with high blood pressure and sleep apnea. I have been unsuccessful in losing weight. My doctor suggested lap band last year and I tried to lose some weight in that time but have been unsuccessful. At my recent appointment I agreed to go for the surgery. My doctor has put in the referral and I am going to an information session on Thursday. I really interested in knowing how long you have to wait for the insurance company to approve you. Thanks for any information. Debbie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
