What to do if PCP is trying to stall by saying that they want to try other things?

Ok I researched and researched and I found a doctor that I wanted to do my surgery. One problem, he was not in the circle of hospitals where my current primary care physician works. So I then chenged PCPs. When I let the new doctor know that I needed to have this proceedure and she said that she wants to do monthly checkups and try other meathods of weight loss before giving me a referal. This really fustrated me because I finally find something that is going to improve and practically save my life and she wants to use me an experiment. I dont like to have to defend my position on this subject especially if it is to someone who hasn't walked in my shoes. So I have another appointment with her next month meanwhile I have already submitted by preliminary questionairre to my surgeon's office. I already put her name down as my PCP. Any thoughts as to how I should handle this?
