anyone had a similar issue?

Hey everyone,

So, I have BCBS of TX federal;

My requirements are: 3 month supervised diet, psychological evaluation, drug test, consultation with dietician and 2 yr medical history of being overweight/obese...

I have great benefits BUT my only issue is the 2 yr medical history....I just got health insurance this past nov and before getting health insurance the last time I went to the doctor was in July of 2009 after I had my daughter (ive been overweight since I was 7) now I'm just worried I won't get approved :(
