How can I get surgery?

Hello my name is Betty and I'm new here. I'm 5'3" and weigh 230 pounds. I have an appointment next week with my PCP to talk with him about having the surgery. I have read most of the post here and you are all wonderful people. I was in the ER Wednesday with chest pains. Dr. kept me over night. Ran soooooo many test, but nothing wrong with my heart. Thank goodness. They think it is more problems with my Hiatal Hernia. I think it is this along with stress caused from being so fat. Maybe the trip to the ER will help me when I talk with him next Friday. I have insurance with Aetna HMO. I have to get my PCP to refer me to the Doctor I want because he is out of network. Dr. Champion here in Atlanta Ga. is who I wish to see. He did answer my email and said I would be a good candidate for the RYN surgery. Anyway I hope everything goes well for me next Friday and I can get started on making plans for a new me. Happy New Year to everyone and may all of our wishes and dreams come true.
