My PCP will not refer me or any of his patients for this surgery but...

My PCP wont refer me for surgery or any of his patients, says its to drastic, but my surgeon at the Bariatric Treatment Center sent me to his office with a pre-op assessment for a cardiologist, I was to give this to my PCP and have him refer me to a cardiologist... He wont even do that!!! I am so upset, Him not giving me a referral letter for the Ins co (Aetna PPO) is one thing but not referring me to a cardiologist, isn't that his job if that is what my surgeon requires??? This is MY decision to have this surgery, I can't understand him having total control!!! I guess I have to find a new PCP, Looks like I've got a lot longer road ahead than I thought... can't even get past GO here... :( Anyone know of any PCP's in the Flushing/Flint MI area that will refer patients for this surgery... Very impatiently waiting... Renee I will call the BTC now and see if they might know of any... Thanks.
