good luck. I am waiting for paperwork to be submitted. How long after that did it take to get a date. I have harvard Pilgram.  You must be so excited. i am glad to be over all the tests.

Don't go by my timetable, Antonietta! My wait hasn't been typical...The new Weight Management Program at MetroWest Medical Center in Natick has been waiting for its "Center of Excellence" accreditation to clear for several months.  I began all my tests and visits back in December, and then had to wait because BCBS won't approve RNY surgery unless it's performed in a Center of Excellence facility.   I assume you are seeing Dr Randall in Medford, where they already have the COE accreditation( which Harvard Pilgrim requires too), so your process should go much faster. I wish you the best on your journey! Leila

I grew up in that area and my parents and sister use Metrowest for their hospital and Doctor. They have all been satisfied with their hospitals stays at Metrowest. They haven't had WLS but generic parental stuff that goes on as you get older. The nursing staff was really kind and personable.

Good luck and congrats!
