I want to have the Lap-Band surgery but don't know where to start.

My friend told me about the surgery and I'm very interested, however I'm not sure how to begin the process. I went to one of the seminars, then I called my insurance company and gave them the surgery code. They (Coresource) said that they don't cover any weight loss surgeries, but when I was browsing this website, I noticed that someone used the same insurance company and got approved. Where do I begin? My BMI is a little over 35, I have a hiatal hernia and GERD, back pain due to degenerative disc disease, and muscle and joint pain. Any suggestions?
