Bariatric surgery evaluations
- It is common for your surgeon and/or insurance company to require a psychological evaluation before these procedures.
- The evaluations help you and your healthcare professionals understand more about your eating disorders or issues, reasons for your eating behaviors, and any other psychological factors that could cause you to get off track after surgery when you will have to follow very strict rules about eating.
- The evaluation helps you work with your physicians to develop a plan to stay on track after surgery and achieve success.
- The evaluator can discuss with you the impact surgery may have on you (behavioral, psychological, relationships, etc.)
