Doctor said no?

I have done all but 2 of my pre-op appointments. Everything has gone very well until yesterday when I went to get my physical. My primary care doctor has a doctors assisstant who usually sees me. The assisstant did my physcial and was very impressed with the research I had done and said she would have my letter typed by the end of the week. I got a call today and she told me that my primary care doctor told her that because I am 20 I need to try dieting again! This woman is skinny as a rail and I'm sure she has no idea... I guess the thing that bothers me is that last year, she also told my mom she shouldn't get a hysterectomy (sp?) even though my mom was in pain and her gyno said she should. Her reasoning? she doesn't like surgery?! Dr. Pearlstein who I am going to for the Bariatic requires that you have been with your Primary for 6 mo. My insurance only covers me in NY and I live in VA. I purposly came home for this. Can she really say no after all I have done? I know she doesn't have to like it but can she really do that? Im so frustrated and upset, if anyone has ANY advice please help!
