My psychologist doesn't think I qualify

I met with the psychologist today. The surgeon only wants her to state that I'm mentally stable and aware of the consequences of the surgery. Instead, she grilled me about why I could possibly want to do this. Her only exposure to the surgery is that stupid article that just came out in SELF magazine. She told me I'm mentally stable and I certainly have done a lot of research, but wouldn't I be better off trying to work with a nutritionist and personal trainer for a year? She says I'm too young (22) to be thinking about having major surgery. I'm worried that she will write a negative report. I have to see her again next week before she writes the report and she said I can fax her any material prior to that visit that I think might change her mind. Any suggestions?
