Psychological Evaluations
Are you considering bariatric surgery for weight loss?
Have you met with a surgeon and need a psychological evaluation before scheduling surgery?
I provide psychological evaluations for candidates seeking bariatric surgery. This type of surgery requires a significant commitment, and it is essential to identify ways to maximize your success after surgery. You may need to address disordered eating habits, identify social supports, and develop additional strategies for managing stress.
Bariatric evaluations aim to assess your strengths, motivations, and readiness for surgery while also understanding any behavioral challenges or emotional factors that may affect your coping skills and adjustment throughout the surgical process. Many hospitals and surgical centers require a psychological evaluation before proceeding with surgery.
