What if the Dr. I saw wouldn't give me a referral?

The Dr. that I was seeing about 4 years ago who was excellent about trying to help me with my weight loss unexpectedly past away a while back. Since then I have had a hard time finding someone who understands the pain and frustration of dieting. I recently had picked a new Dr. whom I have only seen twice before. I went to see her today to see if she would give me a referral and she wouldn't. Instead, she referred to me to another diet. I burst into tears because as I know, all of you know how dieting has worked for us in the past. I know I qualify, I weigh 250 pounds, my ENTIRE family has diabetes, high blood pressure, my father died of a heart attack at age 51, and with my last pregnacy, (my baby is now 9 months old), I had gestational diabetes, so I know my time is running short for avoiding more serious health problems than I already have. Help, now what do I do?
