I need a breast reduction badly but the first doctor I went to just called me outright fat without listening to me.

I've had large breast my entire life (I'm talking bcup in the third grade and currently over spilling my H cup). I have RA(rheumatoid arthritis) and scoliosis. These make it extremely hard to workout(I'm only recommended to swim but can't find swimsuits that fit), but the first surgeon I went to said he wouldn't consider until I lost at least a 100pounds, when my drs recommend only 60-70. He just made feel like a cow. Should I go to another dr or weight it out, to see if I can ever lose the weight?
