Am I on the right track?

I have Cigna/HMO, with Huntington/Seaview as the provider network. I have an appointment with my PCP week after next, for a general physical and also to ask him for a referral to the WLS surgeon (Dr Anthone, who is a Cigna provider) I have already verified with Cigna that gastric bypass surgery is covered if medically necessary. I plan on bringing my weight loss history, inc. Dr records from 1 medically supervised plan. (The other Dr supervised plan was from 11 years ago, and is out of business - can't find any records.)In addition, I plan to bring printed information for my PCP to read, to help convince him that a referral is the best thing for me, that i have caredully considered this, etc. Is there anything that I am missing to help get an approval for this referral? Thanks for any suggestions! Ellen
