Bariatric Support

Undergoing a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation is a crucial step for individuals considering bariatric surgery, as it helps to ensure a person is prepared for the profound mental & emotional changes that accompany this life-altering procedure.

During our one-hour assessment, we will delve into your overall mental health history & current mental state, gauge your understanding of the procedure & talk in depth about the lifestyle modifications required for long-term success. This is essential, as bariatric surgery represents a major undertaking that goes beyond just the physical aspects - it requires a complete transformation of one's relationship with food, as well as a commitment to implementing new healthy habits.

The psychiatric evaluation serves to identify any potential psychological barriers that could jeopardize your ability to thrive post-surgery. This allows your bariatric team to develop a tailored plan of support. Once the evaluation is complete, a detailed report is provided to you and your medical team.

Ongoing bariatric therapy sessions are available to help patients navigate the emotional adjustments & adopt mindful practices necessary to maintain weight loss goals and reclaim health & vitality after surgery.
