Personal Appeal letter

I have been denied by BC BS and appealed once. I have gone to the doctor and found that I have additional cocomorbidity's that I did not know I had. (sleep study confirmed apnea, borderline high cholesterol, and high blood pressure). I am going in for my physical and asking my PCP to write a letter including these morbidity's. I also want to write a personal letter, but I do not know what to include. Does anyone have a letter they used that they would be willing to share? I am also going to look on obesitylaw, and obesityaction to see if they have any. I want to make sure I am including all necessary points.

Thank you in advance for your help. This process is very frustrating!

Why were you denied to begin with? Not a high enough BMI? What surgery type are you looking for?
