How to get approved for the surgery

A frined of ours just had gastric banding surgery and is doing great. I have the same insurance coverage as he does. I am 125 pounds overweight with a 39 BMI Any suggestions how I can get my PCP to request this surgery for ms so it is covered under our insurance? Thanks
