Default Need appeal letter help

Hey there, I know a lot of you had to go thru the appeal process to get your surgery. I have a dear friend that just got her denial letter and I am asking those of you who wouldn't mind sharing your appeal letters to re-post them or let me know where I can access them, I would really appreciate it. She is very bummed and needs to see what an appeals letter should look like. Thanks in advance, all my WLS peeps for this help.

Pam,

Denise (Bypassingme) has a wonderful appeal letter that I altered. Maybe PM her?

Thanks to all. I have printed out 3 appeal letters and will go thru them with her to highlight what she wants to include in hers.

Thanks again and please keep your fingers crossed for her!
