Well, you have a couple of options
1. push him to do it anyway - he has said he will
2. find another surgeon in your area - maybe Princess Alexandra Hospital, Harlow or Broomfields Hospital, Chelmsford. You could ring them and find the name of the hip surgeons there. Their NHS secretaries will be able to give you the number of their private secretaries.
3. find a surgeon further afield - I can recommend the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital at Stanmore, Middlesex or Addenbrooks in Cambridge
Given the time constraints, I would push him to do the surgery. Did you explain about the insurance problem?
Incidentally, are you that much overweight? What seemed to be his particular concerns?
