Bariatric Surgery Evaluations/Counseling

The decision of whether to pursue gastric bypass surgery is complex. We provide pre-surgery psychosocial evaluations that are required by many surgeons and insurance companies as part of the bariatric surgery process. Additionally, one can benefit greatly from working through the emotional and behavioral aspects involved. Therapy for bariatric surgery candidates may include the following:

  • address emotions that contribute to problematic lifestyle choices
  • assess for addiction interaction, which involves multiple at-risk behaviors
  • address the impact of family and friends on eating & lifestyle decisions
  • modify unhealthy beliefs and address toxic shame
  • break-through emotional barriers to physical exercise
  • prepare for long-term behavioral changes in personal habits
  • treat co-occurring disorders such as anxiety and depression
  • assess psychological readiness for surgery, and the adjustments that follow
  • enhance the chance for post-surgery success through preparation & support
  • address identity, safety, and vulnerability issues that accompany weight loss
  • establish a healthy body image & increased feelings of self-worth

Emotional support from a licensed therapist throughout this process can be life-changing. As you work through the issues pertaining to surgery, you can improve your chances of success by addressing your emotions and altering your habits towards a more happy, healthy you.
