Can you be denied surgery if you have had therapy for 5 years?

I have been in psychotherapy for 5 years. I first started therapy to be hypnotized for weight loss and to deal with depression. I have continued with my therapy, even though the hypnosis did not help me lose weight, because I have made and continue to made progress in dealing with many issues. I asked my therapist to do my psych eval. I met with him today and he read me his evaluation. To my great surprise he wrote an extremely loooonnng, very detailed report outlining my entire life history IE sexual abuse as a child, physical and emotional abuse from my mother, abandonment by my father...depression when my children went away to college...depression when I was laid off from my job...depression when my children moved out of state...that I am "adversarial" and willingness to exercise like I should.....and on and on. I feel he had gone overboard in his lengthy and detailed report and that all this information could jeopardize my chances of approval. He suggested I have someone else do the eval. My insurance has been paying for my therapy with him. Won't they think it is odd that my psych eval was done by a different psychologist?? I am angry to think I have been in therapy to get the help I have needed and now even though I may be mentally much healthier than lots of people I could be denied approval. I would really like to hear from anyone who has had lots of counseling and has been able to get approval. Any words of wisdom would be very much appreciated.
