Don't you just love it when doctors blithely expect weight loss to be
something one can just do, like turning on or off the light...? 
Sometimes diet and/or exercise are very helpful, sometimes not all that
effective...

Yeah, they worry that you'll need another replacement down the road,
since you aren't officially a "senior" yet...
