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!!!

THAT'S AWESOME!!!! I'm SO happy for you! Keep your fingers crossed for me. Sending my paperwork to Walter & Kelley on Monday!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! let us know your date!

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!!!

Woo hoo! Yippie!!!!

You must be feeling freekin fantastic right now! So happy for you!

I am THRILLED!!!!!

I'm still in shock, I can't believe I'm approved. I don't know if it has completely sunk in!! Haha!

Yay!

That is great news! Glad it finally worked out for you!

That's awesome, congratulations! I hope you find out your date very soon!

I'm glad you persisted and wore Aetna down.

So happy for you!

Thank u so much!! It still hasn't sunk in- hopefully scheduling a date tomorrow!! Wooot! ????????

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?

Not a thing...Mexico here you come!!

if you don't mind my asking, how much did you pay lindstrom for your appeal?

I contacted lindstrom as well. I might as well see at they have to say. Even though my Insurance paperwork says they don't cover it....I'm a fighter so if they wore down Aetna for you maybe they can do the same for me. Fingers crossed.
