Don't know what questions you might ask of the doc, but whatever is important to you is all that matters. Sounds like it should be a very encouraging meeting for you. I know I always get a feeling of excitement and renewed hope prior to a psychiatrist visit. I like the visit, but it goes too fast! A 15 minute visit seems like a heartbeat, and an hour visit seems like 15 minutes! Anyway, have fun! Hope he/she is everything you would hope for. :)
