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!!!

It's a good feeling, isn't it? Congrats!

This is GREAT news! Sip sip sip, walk, walk, walk. Best advice ever. The Protein will come, but I remember the days when it was tough getting it in. My morning coffee/whey slushie is so central to my day now!
I am 18 months out and this IS the best decision I have ever made, bar none. I am well below my goal, I run and cycle and go to the gym (and I LIKE it!).
If you work this, the rewards are huge. Welcome to the losers bench!

12 lbs down in 8 days. My surgery was 8 days ago. I will take it. I am NEVER HUNGRY and I have to make myself eat something. Protein is a struggle!!! I'm sipping sipping sipping.
Best decision ever.
