Bariatric Psychological Evaluation: A Vital Step Towards a Healthier You

 A Bariatric Psychological Evaluation is a key component of the weight loss surgery process. It is required by most surgeons and insurance providers as part of the preoperative assessment for patients considering procedures like gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, or lap-band surgery. This evaluation helps ensure that patients are mentally and emotionally prepared for the life-changing journey of bariatric surgery and the new lifestyle that follows. Our team of experienced clinicians at ACTS is here to support you through this process, helping to ensure your readiness and long-term success. 

 At ACTS, we understand that taking this step can be both exciting and challenging. Our compassionate clinicians are dedicated to providing a supportive and nonjudgmental environment. We work with you to:

• Develop a Personalized Plan: Based on the evaluation, we offer tailored recommendations to help you build coping strategies and resilience for the journey ahead.
• Provide Guidance for Next Steps: Whether you need further therapy, support groups, or resources to manage emotional eating, we ensure you have a clear plan before and after surgery.
• Foster Long-term Success: Our goal is not only to help you through the evaluation process but also to equip you with the mindset needed for maintaining a healthier lifestyle post-surgery.
