How can I convince my PCP that I need WLS?

My PCP wasn't too thrilled when I first mentioned the possibility of WLS. I have a BMI of 55 and have been diagnosed with congestive heart failure, hypertension, and moderate sleep apnea. Up until this past year my weight hasn't given me many health problems, but things are changing and I'm no longer happy with how I feel or my quality of life. I'm convinced WLS is the answer I've been searching for but how do I convince my PCP?
