Has anyone written a letter to their insurance company to try and get pre approval??

Hi, I have First State Health Plan, wich is a MEDICAID HMO. I know that they are not very fond of approving gastric bypass surgery.... I also have to have my gallbladder removed due to attacks/stones.... Has anyone written a letter to their insurance co. for pre approval? I am really hoping to have both surgeries done at the same time, but I'm afraid I won't be approved for the gastric bypass. Does anyone have a sample letter I can take notes from? I am not very good at writing.... especially letters so any help would be GREATLY APPRICIATED.... I'm hoping I can get them to pre approve my surgery so I can get the ball rolling quicker, and eliminate these painful gallbladder attacks... I have my surgery consultation in 2 days and want to be as prepared as I can... I am sooo hoping I can have this done... I'm ready for a major change!! Thanks soooooo much for your help!!!!! ~Crissy~
