Yes, my husband and I hired Walter Lindstrom for help. Unfortunately, he was not able to help me. Our insurance is a self-funded insurance with a written exclusion and they would not budge even though we were told it had to be medically necessary. They would not distinguish between obesity and morbid obesity and stuck to their exclusion. However, that does not mean he will not be able to help you. Contact him and send him all the info he requires to look over your case. He will tell you if he thinks he can help you or not. It is worth a try.

Kara, I hired Walter and was not disappointed. I was denied and he worte a great appeal letter and I was aproved with just that one appeal letter, and as of the 16th of this month am now post-op. I would make sure that WLS is not excluded in your health plan. Best of luck!
