Wait another year for surgery? Why?

I recently went to a new PCP and he wants me to do a year of supervised diets with him and then look into weight loss surgery after a year if there are no results. I went through this with my last PCP and I've had enough with stupid diets and horrible exercise programs. I already have a consult scheduled with a surgeon in May that I made two monthes ago. But new PCP still wants me to try dieting for another year. I really like this PCP, he's really cool, and doesn't dismiss my health concerns because of my weight (unlike the last doctor I went to). Should I track down my medical records and show him all the doctor assisted attempts or give him a chance with his own program?
