Why do I need a Psych Eval for Bariatric Surgery?
A psychological evaluation is a standard step for patients pursuing bariatric surgery. This important assessment:
Satisfies insurance requirements
Ensures you’re mentally and emotionally prepared
Evaluates coping strategies and readiness for lasting behavioral change
Bariatric surgery isn’t just a physical transformation—it requires lifelong commitment. Mental preparedness is key to long-term success.
Recommended Psychologists
We strongly recommend working with a psychologist who is experienced in bariatric evaluations and can provide thorough documentation for your insurance and medical team.
