How can I get Kaiser SSF to allow me to have surgery through Pacific Bariatrics?

I'm approved by Kaiser for surgery and thought I could go to Pacific Bariatrics in San Diego as they contract with Kaiser. I'm ready to fly to San Diego for a surgeon consult but now have been told that Kaiser SSF needs to refer me directly to Pacific Bariatrics. Both I and PB have requested approval with no response as yet. Has anyone been able to do the above?
