Question Where to start?

Lately I have been considering WLS. But I really have no idea where to start. Do I start by mentioning it to my doctor? Do I contact my insurance provider? Do I go to a doctor specializing in WLS and talk to them first? I am scheduled to go to a seminar on March 10th about WLS, so I will probably find out more then. But I wanted to find out how you guys started out. Do you have to show that you're diabetic before your even considered? I'm 23yrs old and at 345lbs. I do not have diabetes, or HBP, or high cholesterol. Which is weird.... But I'm afraid that since I do not have any of those issues right now, that I cannot be considered. Any advice is appreciated...

BTW, I have Cigna for insurance. Anyone else out there?

Thanks
