Can I go directly to a surgeon?

My PCP is so unhelpful and wants me to try another diet/excersise program.I just switched to her last year after moving back to the area, and cannot seem to convince her that all my previous attempts failed.She says" of course they fail if you dont stick with them".Maybe it is a personal failure but I've been on a diet since age 5 and I can't stand it anymore! I've decided to change doctors and my first appointment with her is upcoming - But I'm nervous that she too will want to watch me try and fail a few times before being convinced that surgery is an appropriate measure.Willthe insurance company be suspicious of all the doctor changing?I've moved all around and so have had a number of different PCPs.
