Anyone have Emblem Health???

Hi, I decided to sign up cause I'm obsessed with this forum. I started my VSG journey on 6/17/15 and on the day of my consultation my surgeon gave me a surgery date for 9/8/15...he said my insurance requires 3 months of visits with the nutritionist and saturday will be my 2nd. I already finished all of the test and everything and the follow up with him is 8/20/15 so I guess that's when he will submit everything to the insurance company. I'm not sure if he gave me the surgery date because he thinks that I will definetly be approved or what...short history

19 years old turning 20 on 8/11/15

highest weight 223...lost 14lbs since consultation date...currently 209lbs

diagnosed with pcos at 9

diagnosed with high cholesterol at 10

pre diabetic since 10

diagnosed with high blood pressure and diabetes a day before my first consultation with the surgeon

been overweight since birth

Does anyone have emblem health and have been denied or approved? My biggest fear is they would deny me cause of my age even though I've been going through this for a decade and my doctors tried everything and obviously it's just getting worse. I'm 5'1" by the way so my starting bmi was over 40 that's what the surgeon will submit. I have HIP with HMO by they way...through my mom's job

19...that's Awesome!!   You have sooooo many healthy years ahead of you!!!   Good for you for taking control and not putting it off until you get older!! 

I'm sure your surgeon knows you will be approved or he wouldn't have given you a date.  There are more and more young people having WLS so they can get healthy.  

I can't wait to watch your journey!!!   Lots of pictures PLEASE!!!
