I just wanted to welcome you to the board. I too would find another doc. In the meantime I would check into your insurance policy to see what they say on the surgery and what you need. Mine required a 5 yr history of BMI 40 or above, a Psych eval, and documented attempts at weight loss in the past 2 years. If you really want this sometimes you just have to keep forging ahead and jumping through hoops. Good luck!
