Approved

Hello everyone after been denied by Aetna twice and a lot of run arounds I been approved with the help of Walter Lindstrom (advocate/lawyer for the obese) It took hours after the hearing for aetna to approve me. I am so happy now. And waiting for my surgery date. My advise is dont give up. this is surgery is not a capricious wim its something that will improve health and life.

Good for you Elizabeth! I have a friend who's also having a hard time with Aetna - could you give me your lawyer's phone number? He might need to call him! Thanks, Denise

Congratulations Liz - I knew you could do it if you fought! We've missed you at our last support meetings in Brick -- Come on back. Do you have a surgery date now? Keep in touch and keep us posted -- we're rooting for you. Regards, RNY 6/16/03 - 336/265/?
