To my knowledge you can't. Funding relates to NHS patients.

What happens (generally) is that your GP needs to make a referral to your local bariatrics team.

Broadly speaking, If they agree that you meet the criteria for bariatric surgery, your case then goes before a multi disciplinary panel and then funding is applied they (or in some cases your GP) then refers to your local PCT for funding.

There are also a range of test that are carried out to ensure you are of sound mind and body to undergo surgery.

The criteria seems to vary greatly from PCT to PCT, so it is essentially a bit of a lottery.
