Default Medical Necessity Letter

No, fortunately/unfortunately, I'm totally healthy. I've just been overweight (and now morbidly obese - BMI 40.3) and getting heavier every year.
I'm also watching my obese mother fall apart at 54 and don't want that to be me in 20 years!
Even though I meet the NIH criteria, I'm terrified that I won't be approved for the surgery and want to do everything I can!
