[CharlotteWebb 275]

1) Take a deep breath. Grab something to drink and a peppermint. (Peppermints work as a mood stabilizer and assist thought process.)
2) Open up your laptop. We are going to write a letter of appeal.
3) Have your denial letter handy. You will need that address. I will write a dummy letter at bottom for format purposes.
4) MAIL your letter yourself! Also give a copy to your Bariatric Team. You learned a long time ago if you want something done, do it yourself. This is no different.
5) What info needs to be in my letter? Glad you asked or didn't or whatever..
List your height and weight. List your BMI. Write about your life of obesity. When it started, approximately. Why it started if you know. Most importantly in specific, precise detail describe how obesity is effecting your life negatively personally AND physically including medical conditions. Lastly, describe how you understand this is a tool and you are ready to make self changes and better your life if they can please reconsider and grant you the gift of life by approving your surgery for this life-saving tool
6) Mean It!!!
