eat MORE veggies

I keep bringing up my wieght to my doctor. long with a whole list of other obesity related issues like pcos and infertility, but all she keeps telling me is to eat more vegetables and exercise more.  no matter what the issure is that is the answer is to eat more veggies. i understand that most of my issues start with my weight and that if i did loose the 100+ lbs none of it would be an issue any longer. but she refuses to help the issues and she refuses to help me lose weight. her help is telling me to eat more veggies and exercise more. she won't even send me to a nutritionist or a dietion. i am in fall river does anyone know a better doctor that accepts masshealth.

Do you know if your insurance will allow you to see a nutritionist without a referral? If yes, then go see one! Do you not have available in you weight loss surgery center? (we have 2 available and I always find it strange when surgeons don't have them in their office)

 I do know that i have to have a referral before i can see any sort of specialist, including a nutritionist.  and i have been looking for a center but have no idea where to find one.

I think Tobey Hospital would be the closest WLS hospital in your area unless you go into Boston .... If you have straight masshealth you most likely will need a refferal for any specialist from your primary care dr.
Here is the Website to Tobey.. It's a start in the right direction.

Both of my step-mother's went to this hospital and had/have great results

My doctor is Dr. Ray Kruger in Wareham at Toby hospital. He also has a weight loss center. Let no one stop you from achieving your goals.
