dede0314 356 Posted September 8, 2015 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.

cat_texan 13 Posted September 12, 2015 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dede0314 356 Posted September 12, 2015 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
