Starting the Process w/Healthnet!

Good Morning Everyone! I logged onto this great site yesterday, and your support gave me the confidence to start the process! I'm Healthnet California HMO through the school district I teach for and they emailed me that they do cover the band as long as I use Sutter physicians. I have an appointment with my internist on Monday for the referral. Currently I'm 5'7" and weigh 260, so I need to loose 120 pounds. I have high blood pressure and degenerative disc disease of the spine. I've had back surgery and I am scheduled for my 8th epidural steriod injection in May. What hoops will I have to jump through to get approved? My goal is to be able to wear a fashionable dress when my daughter graduates from law school in two years. Any help will be much appreicated!
