All my personal diet attempts thrown out the window by doctors...

In my 31 years I have been a yo-yo dieter & exerciser like all of you. I have spent the last 10 years on one diet or another and signing up at gyms (to only be humiliated in public) and even buying an expensive treadmill (which I FINALLY said goodbye to 2 weeks ago when I committed myself to WLS as an option). BUT NOW because none of my own personal attempts were documented by doctors, my pcm is disregarding them as if they never happened and has sent me back to square one like I'm a child!! I'm so frustrated. Off to the nutritionist where they are teaching me about the food pyramid (HELLO I was a USDA certified food preparer for years) and how to count calories & measure fat content. Off to more EXPENSIVE excercise classes that do NOTHING for me but lighten my wallet and leave me frustrated and humiliated, suffering emotionally. I don't want to go through this for another 10 years only to THEN be told I should have had WLS. I am one in a long genetic line of heavy women and men, there's no question that it is hereditary in my case. I just want the doctors to accept this. Should I humor them and go along with it for awhile or should I surf around for a doctor who will give me what I want? Who knows better me or the doctor, I really am not sure anymore!!?? I guess I just needed to vent more than anything else & hear that I'm not the only one who has had to go through this torture. Thanks for listening!
