Thank you so very much for this wonderful letter of request. I honestly regret not contacting you when I was initially denied. I am just flabbergasted at the detail and the evidence based references provided. WOW!!! I deeply regret not knowing you existed. You really take the WORD advocacy to a whole new MEANING. Words cannot describe how satisfied I am to see such documentation and how thankful I am for your help. Thank you!

Thank You, so much. I cannot express my gratitude for what you and
Walter do. It is absolutely overwhelming to have someone that has your
back and knows exactly what avenues to take to seek approval. I know
that it is not always successful but, I am so grateful for the outcome.
I spoke with my doctors office yesterday and my surgery is scheduled for
December 12. Merry Christmas to me!Please give Walter my heart felt, Thank You!
I have done nothing but cry my eyes out for the last 30 minutes!!! I can’t even begin to tell you how grateful we are for the two of you. I have already passed your information on even before this approval came through because I could tell how genuine you are. You’re doing good work. I can’t thank you enough!!! I really think you just helped save my husband’s life, and obviously I want him here with me for as long as I can have him. You two are truly blessings to us. I know your words of encouragement mean a lot to [my husband]. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
I just wanted to update you and let you know how much we appreciated your help in getting us this approval. My wife had the procedure done in October and has been doing great. Already she has lost weight and her sugar counts are stable and doing fine. The Doctor has taken her off Insulin and High Blood Pressure medicine as a result. She feels real good on the progress she made so far. Once again, thanks for all your help.
Wow Walter…
I want to almost cry after seeing what you have done and going to the ends of the earth in defending my efforts and struggles. I want to thank you so much (the both of you) for all of your efforts. It has really meant the world to me.
I am absolutely over the moon excited right now. I finished my 6 months supervised diet/nutrition with my surgeon’s office back in April, but I was denied when it was submitted to insurance, despite having a BMI of 42 and GERD (they denied it and said GERD wasn’t one of their approved co-morbidities, and my insurance plan requires a co-morbidity regardless of BMI). I immediately contacted Lindstrom Obesity Advocacy and began the appeals process with them. Within a month of them sending in my (wonderfully written) appeal letter, I just received a call to let me know that United has approved me for surgery and has provided their office with the approval and authorization number. . . . I am beyond excited! This is actually happening!!
Thank you so much with your help for our patient [AJ]. You are truly miracle workers. Patient is doing well and excited to start her new journey and is very grateful for your services. Have a wonderful holiday season!
Hello Walter and Kelley,
I wanted to send a huge THANK YOU to you both, as well as to your team! Everything happened very quickly after my appeal hearing on June 26th, and I had my bypass surgery on July 10th !! And I went back to work on Monday July 15th, so its all been a whirlwind! I am feeling great, the weight is coming off, and I am starting to really feel like I am getting back to normal (well my new normal that is).
This would not have happened without your help, and I am forever grateful for all the work you all did to help me. I will certainly recommend you all to anyone going through the same struggle as I did. You all are just wonderful and made the process very easy. I just want you all to know how much I appreciate all your help!
Thank you very much for your quick reply and the helpful tips on what should be done. I will proceed as you recommended and contact you again should I need additional assistance. I appreciate knowing that there is someone out there that is willing to fight to help me have a better life. You need to know how much just just the words in your email mean to me. Thanks again and have a wonderful new year!wing that there is someone out there that is willing to fight to help me have a better life.

Thank you so much Walter and Kelley ! I don’t know either of you, but I love you both so much! You have truly changed my life and I know that a day will not go by where I will not think of you. I am finally looking forward to my wedding day and it’s because of you two. Can’t wait to share wedding pics 🙂 Thank you a million times over.
Thank you. I’m so emotional right now! You guys are helping me change my life. When everyone told me that I would not be approved,you guys made me feel confident that there was a way. I am forever grateful.
