HELP!!!!
. Currently, my bmi is 64-65. I don't even want to, or need to express my disgust, disappointment, or rage 
. I have not rec'd my denial letter yet however, I am preparing for my appeal. While cruising the forums I came across an appeal letter of a member or her friend (I don't recall), it was so thorough, with quotes and references. I'd love to use it as a guideline for my own. If anyone has an appeal letter I can reference I'd greatly appreciate it. I will also xpost this to see if I can get some help. Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our Light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves -- Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?Actually, who are we not to be?
You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people do not feel insecure around you. We were born to manifest the Glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us, it is in everyone.
And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fears, our presence automatically liberates others.

The only insurance that I have personally worked w/ that has that 55 limit is Medcost for CHS employees. I know it stinks but I will tell you from my experience I haven't heard anyone win this becuase it's insurnace policy. I really wish that I could give you so good advice or even a good letter. If you have co-morbid conditions use those, if you have family history of obesity and co-morbid conditions write about those, also if your doctors back you on this get them to write letters of support. If you are denied Dr B can do a peer to peer a lot of people don't know that so as for a peer to peer. It helps sometimes but not always but it's worth a try w/o using an appeal. :) Good Luck and if I can find an letter or anything to help you I will get it posted here.
