how do you find a Doctor who will help you lose weight in Missouri, not just tell you that you should?

I had a histerectomy three years ago and it caused my metabolism to basically stop. I started gaining weight almost immediatly. i tried everything, to no avail. then a classmate told me about a doctor in a near by town. he put me on a weight loss plan that included monthly visits, vitamin b injections, and a perscription. within a short time i was feeling better, i had energy, was finally sleeping, and most of all i was losing weight. recently his wife became very ill. he announced he was going to retire, and close his clinic. he gave his patients three months to find another doctor. well its been 7 months and i still cant find a doctor who will do any more than tell me that it would be beneficial for my long term health if i lost weight. isnt that a kick, since i always write on the line reason for your visit line: weight loss. not to mention that those are the first words out of my mouth when they come in and ask "so how can i help you today'.
I've received several answers regarding the need for proper diet and exercise. so let me add to the question i am already working with a personal trainer and following the diet that my original doctor set up. doing these things has enabled me to stableize my weight. i am not however losing any.
when my doctor retired he was also unable to find a physician was willing to continue his program.
