If there is one thing that I have learned from this surgery, it is that I no longer live to eat. I eat to live.

Pho

1. Fallon Community Health Plan (Central/eastern MA territorial Health plan)
2. HMO/Cobra
3. Dr. Richard Perugini at UMass Memorial Hospital-- He is one of the dr.'s at the Hospital's Weight Center. They all come very highly regarded.

Fallon is an awesome insurance provider. The transition from thinking about surgery to actually doing it and getting approved was very easy and fast. It took me a year because of the program I was on with the Dr.s. I never once got denied for anything and all I had to pay was $100 co-pay for the hospital stay.

I LOVE FALLON. I'm alittle angry I have to switch to Cigna because I moved out of state.
