I finally got my approval today. I have been going through this process for almost a year now and have been fighting with my insurance company for about 7 months. I was denied by Aetna 3 times and my case went through the external review which I found out today that I won. I hired Lindstrom Obesity Advocacy and they were great. I can't wait to get a date and finally be apart of the losers bench. I feel like I'm getting a second chance at life. For all those having a hard time getting approved DO NOT GIVE UP.

@@dede0314 Yay! Congrats!

@@dede0314 - way to go!

great inspiration for the folks who are struggling to get approved.

Congrats! That is sure alot to go through to get approved, so sorry you had to go through so much...

Thanks everyone!

Has anyone ever had trouble getting a response from Lindstrom Advocacy Group? I emailed them and filled out the online contact form, but I haven't heard anything.

They did take a few days to get back to me when I first filled out the form. I also called them and left a voicemail.

Congrats! Definitely a battle worth fighting! Hope your surgery is soon.

why were you not approved the first time Aetna denied me I'm going through the 3 month nut program again because Aetna said I need doctor notes

I gained weight during the program
