help! question about kaiser process??

[ladylei0 20]

the story...

i go to see a per diem dr because i'm out sick and need an off work order... i ask about the lap band. she says "oh you don't need to see your dr just email and ask for a referral"

i do that and they send me a response that says "a referral for bariatic surgery has been sent"

what does that mean? what do i do know? am i supposed to get something in the mail or what? i have no idea what to do because OBVIOUSLY i've never had the this procedure before.

can anyone help? how do i get started?

please! thank you
