I agree with KB. If you enjoy mixing it up like trouble appears to, that's one thing. However, if you're lying to him and trying to think of ways to avoid him and worst of all, thinking that he's really not listening to or validatiing what is important to you (about the weight), then he really doesn't sound worth it. Maybe you could talk to your internist about another referral. Also, if you're just seeing this guy for meds and not for therapy, then it's not like you're going to have to make that longer trip all that often, at least once you're stabilized.
I think it's pretty important that you be able to feel that your pdoc is working with you to come up with a good treatment plan that you can both buy into. That spirit of cooperation just can't be there if one person doesn't think he needs to heed the concerns of the other.
Just my opinion
