Stay firm and focused
I too worried about what the PCP would say. Mine sells his own diet loss stuff and has his own whole thing going. I thought he'd try to sell me on his weight loss program. I was just pretty firm about wanting the surgery; and it helped that my fiancee had him also and he had sent him for his referral without problems.
I agree that, no matter what, you can change primary care doctors. You have that right! I don't know where you are (location), but I'm sure there is someone out there that knows a doctor in your area that is more supportive of this decision.
You deserve this new lease on life and don't let anyone, not even a doctor, stand in your way.

Love like you've never been hurt, work like you don't need the money, dance like no one is watching and sing like no one is listening.
