Recommended Posts

I'm IN!!

Heard from the Lindstroms today and Aetna approved me!!

Kelly and Walter Lindstrom were absolutely incredible. My second level appeal was nothing that I would have ever come up with!

So waiting for the surgeon to call me back, to get a date!!

Thank you to all who have helped and encouraged me the past few months after my denials. I think I would have lost hope if it wasn't for many of you.

I had a really tough year, and this is my light at the end of the tunnel.

I cannot wait!!! :)

The appeal was AMAZING that Walter wrote. Kelley was fantastic and I had a weigh in 2 weeks ago and Aetna was already reviewing my appeal, I faxed another weight loss to Kelley and she had it faxed to Aetna to make sure that was also reviewed.

She called and emailed today. The paperwork says October 3rd,

I had to email her. I'm sure they are super busy. So make sure u check in!!

I don't regret them helping me at all!

I would do it again and again. 100%

I was very skeptical at first, but she's always answered my emails right back within hours. (I'm in pa, they as u know are in Ca) so 3 hour time difference I had to keep telling myself!!

Thank You!!

You better keep me posted!!!

Fingers are crossed and I know they will get you approved too!!!

Help can you show me some of your appeal letter.

I can show u the appeal letter that I sent that still resulted in a denial.

I cannot send u the lindstrom appeal unfortunately. I paid very good money for that appeal letter, I hope u understand. If u were denied please call Walter and Kelley Lindstrom.

They are incredible to work with. And they had mine overturned in just a few weeks.

What appeal are u working on?

What insurance do u have and where are u from??

That all makes a difference.

:)

  • I'm happy for you. My Aetna Insurance states they don't cover bariatric surgery. :-( Even though I have all of the horrible things to go with being over weight. Mexico is calling me name...what can I do?

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
