Then we submit to insurance and wait!!!!! ARGHHHH
On mine I just indicated the amount of years I have been morbidly obese, the diets I have tried, the exercise I have tried, successes and failures. I indicated what co-morbidities I had now and what I could get down the line if I don't lose weight and get healthy soon. I listed what medications I was currently taking and how wls would help me get off these medications. I also explained that my energy levels were way down and I never felt like doing anything. I also wrote that I understood this surgery is just a tool to help me regain my health and no longer be morbidly obese. I would still have to be proactive in choosing healthy foods, taking vitamins, exercising, drinking water, etc. And that I was wiling to do this to save my life. At the end write "I ask you for your approval of Weight Loss Surgery for me. Doing this will help save my life. It is medically necessary."
