Im so nervous that my insurance wont approve me because of my age wich would be absolutly devistating but im not really sure how all that works?

Did the Dr office lead you to believe that your age "may" be the issue.

No they didnt I just feel that might be an issue for them im not sure

Usually they'll let you know their requirements up front. My dr wont do it under 21. but that's the surgeon's choice, not the insurance.

I've had to visit 3 different surgeons because of my age, 2 of them didn't want to do the surgery but my doctor recommended that I see a surgeon that a lot of his patients go to in one of the suburbs north of Boston, MA. He is happy to do the surgery (my date is 5/20/13) and confident that this would be good for me and it works out because I don't have to go into Boston for every single dr. apt! (I've had at least 1 apt. every week since I saw him first) and he is a lot nicer than the other ones I've met. so, every surgeon is different. Some have an age preference, some don't. If you get denied, just go somewhere else. Don't give up!
