Psychological Support

A requirement of the American Society of Bariatric Surgery and nearly all insurance plans is that all patients undergo a psychological assessment prior to surgery. We will help facilitate that with an experienced panel of friendly and helpful psychologists. This evaluation is not difficult or burdensome and, in many cases, can be quite helpful, enlightening and insightful for the patients themselves. The therapist is then available for follow up counseling after bariatric surgery. Although it is wonderful to lose weight and become healthier, we recognize that sometimes this change can involve psychological stress as well. It is very valuable, therefore, to have a panel of experienced, dedicated expert therapists to turn to when some additional counseling or psychological expertise is wanted. Our experienced team will strive to serve you compassionately and expertly as you go through a wonderful and healthy life change.
