Bariatric Pre Surgical Psychological Evaluation
Comprehensive Pre-Surgical Psychological Evaluations
We offer compassionate, comprehensive pre-surgical psychiatric evaluations from the comfort of your home. Our goal is to ensure that you receive the highest standard of care and support throughout your bariatric surgery journey. As a psychiatrist, I adhere to the recommended standards for bariatric surgery evaluations set forth by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery.
It is important to note that having a mental health diagnosis or taking psychotropic medications does not automatically disqualify a patient from having bariatric surgery. However, it is crucial for the patient's mental health to be stable and well-managed before proceeding with the surgery. Our evaluations are designed to assess your mental health status and identify any high-risk conditions that may need to be addressed prior to surgery. During the evaluation, we will explore your motivation behind seeking bariatric surgery. We understand that the decision to undergo bariatric surgery is a significant one, and we are here to support you every step of the way.
Our evaluations are conducted from the comfort of your home, providing a convenient and accessible option for your assessment. At the end of the evaluation, we will provide a detailed report that outlines our findings and recommendations. The evaluation will be faxed directly to your surgeon. If any high-risk conditions or disqualifying factors are identified, we will work closely with you and your healthcare team to develop a plan to address these concerns.
