I have a problem..

I have a problem. I was preapproved for surgery in August. My bariatric nurse sent papers to my family doctor to fill out. Apparently they just filed them and did not fill anything out. Now they are saying they are having trouble coming up with 5 years of medical neccessitey problems. I do not have high blood pressure, diabetes or anything like that. I have back aches, feet hurt and depression because of my weight. I am pretty bummed out over this now because this could be something that will hold me back. I have already spent $500.00 on different things my insurance required such as dietician and behavioral classes. What can I do to convince my family doctor that it is medicaly necessary? I just feel like I am not winning here. Any ideas, this is something I really need and want.
