[size=4][font=comic sans ms, cursive]4/1/2013 Contacted Lindstrom Obesity Advocacy[/font][/size]
4/16/13 Surgery- decided to self pay and hope Aetna would approve, and I could get reimbursed.
All internal appeals were denied. This was sent for independent review on 5/23/2013.
6/5/2013 **APPROVED** I received a letter from both the independent reviewer and Aetna- with a claim number.
Currently working to get claims submitted and reimbursement.

I am down between 25-30#'s in 9 weeks. Weight not coming off fast, but I am not gaining! First time in my life the scale moved one way consistently!
