Expert Advice Needed Again! Desperate!

Okay, Please help. My insurance company requires a psych eval (supposedly) before they agree to approve or disapprove my request for WLS. I live 3 hours away from my surgeon so I asked them if I could find a PhD who is close to home. I went to him. He said he has done these before. Last Monday I went to answer 600+ questions. Today I went to talk to him. The first 1/2 hour we spent discussing money and insurance to cover his fees. Then he wanted to know If I knew what Dr. Phil thought about obesity and its underlying issues. He told me I should go buy the book. (!) He then talked for about 45 minutes about my childhood and asked me if I was ever depressed before. I said yes, twice (years ago). Once when my baby died (premature) and during my divorce. I almost cried. I have to GO BACK NEXT WEEK TO FINISH.... UUUGH!!!! He doesn't sound very supportive of this surgery does he? He shounds supportive of me coming to him every week to figure out what makes me eat food. I told him straight out I have had a love affair with food. I am Italian and life was always centered around food. WHAT SHOULD I DO???? DID I BLOW IT???
