Question I'm a total post-hog today - did you write a letter to your insurance?

When you were sending in all of your documentation in for approval did you send a personal letter? If you did what did you say and do you think it helped? This really is just kind of the icing on the cake for me. I will be devastated if I'm not approved for the 1/12 date, but my surgeon wouldn't have scheduled me if he was not pretty certain that I would be approved. He works with my insurance (BSBIL) a lot. Anyway. TIA!

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

I did have to write a personal letter to my insurance company. If you are interested in looking at it, PM me and I will be more than happy to share with you.
