What if a doctor won't refer you but you qualify with your weight and BMI?

Try to find a doctor who will.  I have heard discussion on here about going to walk in clinics, asking another doctor you deal with (gynocologist, heart specialist, etc.).  Or go back to your doctor with facts and more knowledge and try to talk him/her into it!

Good luck
