I am interested in having by-pass surgery.

I have had two PCPs say no to a referral. My BMI is 35 at this time I don't have anyother major health problems. I have tried every diet known to man kind. I went to Johns Hopkins weight center and they want you to eat 1200 calories a day. I cant do it I was starving. Some see the surgery as a cop out. I have watch programs on Gastric by-pass and think it is for me. How do I convince a PCP? Please help. I am so depressed.
