I went to my primary care physician after years and years of complaining that my weight is problematic and asked for a referral. The Doc was not overly enthusiastic but understood the need particularly since I want to have another child and am almost 40. I was referred to a Dr. and the process began. The bariatric office is  a one stop shop. They have nutritional classes, support groups and ensures that the patients are doing what is necessary to accommodate the insurance companies requirements. (I have an HMO-Healthnet). I had to attend 3 months of nutrtional/support classes which I found very helpful, and ultimately, had no problems getting approved.
