approved after 2 denials!

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!!! :)

Katie

      I was denied for a weight gain during my 3 month supervised diet. And no weight for 2013. But I had 5 years of dates. Didn't matter. I was denied in July, sent my appeal on my own by August, denied

    Don't be scared. Be more afraid of dying young because of all the health risks with obesity.

    Just do what your surgeon says.

    For dinner, I just had a half of pork chop and 3 pieces of broccoli. Done. :)

    Oh that's not bad at all. I can handle that. Yes I will follow each step very carefully.

    You really can handle it. I was a compulsive over eater.

    I never felt full. Now I do. Best feeling even tho sometimes the food is so good I want to keep eating. Eating slower and enjoying the food I can fit is so much more important now. Funny how things change
