Bariatrics

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

During the evaluation, we will delve into your mental health history & current mental state, gauge your understanding of the procedure & talk in depth about the lifestyle modifications required for long-term success. 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 potential psychological barriers that could jeopardize your ability to thrive post-surgery.

Post-surgical therapy is available to help patients navigate emotional adjustments & adopt practices necessary to maintain weight loss goals & reclaim vitality.
