Bariatric Surgery Psychological Evaluation
Bariatric surgery is a wonderful long-term and sustainable weight loss option to help many people with obesity problems to lose weight and improve their lives.
However, it is only sustainable if you also engage in the behavioral changes associated with living a healthy lifestyle. Your success is often determined by the hard work that you put in every day to ensure your weight loss tool works it’s magic!
The psychological evaluation will assess your personal and family history, including previous or current psychiatric illnesses, substance use, self-destructive behaviors, and current support systems.
“The greatest gift you ever give is your honest self.”

We want to ensure that you are informed and are able to give consent to this life changing surgery.
Your evaluation will include conversations about the possible short-term and long-term psychological effects, what to expect after surgery, and how to ensure your own success through maintaining healthy living.
Fees
Bariatric psychological evaluations cost $150.
Psychological evaluations last about 50-60 minutes. We will have a formal report written for you within 7 business days.
If we have any concerns about your readiness, we will discuss this with you prior to writing your report.
If you choose to continue ongoing therapy after the evaluation, we will happily use your insurance at that time.
