Bariatric surgery requires an individual to have sound mental health, including the will-power and strength to attend numerous follow-up appointments, making drastic changes in their diet and eating habits, and commit to a completely new life-style.

Pre-Surgery Evaluations

Our office offers you a complete evidenced-based pre-surgical evaluation utilizing comprehensive assessment measures. Pre-surgical psychological evaluations meet insurance pre-authorization requirements and allow for communication across multidisciplinary medical and non-medical care teams.

Evaluations Include:

• A comprehensive psychosocial interview
• Measure of locus of control
• Assessment of psychosocial factors that impact successful bariatric surgery and post-surgical weight loss
• Assessment of substance use and abuse
• Cognitive assessment
• Assessment of personality traits and psychopathology
• Measurement of mood

Bariatric Surgery Evaluations require a full intake process to include an interview and assessments. Your evaluation report will be available shortly after all measures have been completed.
