Is there a minimum age requirement?

Hi I'm 95% sure I want to have the surgery but I am fairly young (23). From what I've read usually a minimum age is 25. As far as qualifications...I definetly have the BMI. Attempted several times to lose weight with very little success. However probably cause of my age I don't really have morbid conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. (But I'm sure I would have them eventually)The only thing I have is asthma which is well controlled. (But obviously I do have times when I feel out of breath).I do however have a family history of cancer. My mother died of breast cancer when I was 15.I will be getting Blue Cross insurance in a few months. Do you think I'll get approved? I'd love to hear from anyone, but especially younger people. Thanks :)
