Making the decision to undergo weight loss surgery is a significant and complex choice that requires careful consideration. Often, individuals spend months, or even years, contemplating before taking the leap. To ensure that our clients are mentally and emotionally prepared to embark on the transformative journey required for a successful surgery, some doctors, request a comprehensive mental health assessment.

At our clinic, we prioritize a psychological approach during these assessments, aiming to delve deeper into your motivations, readiness for surgery, and identify any potential behavioral challenges that could hinder your progress. Our assessment encompasses various aspects, such as:

1. Behavioral Assessment: We thoroughly explore your previous attempts to lose weight, evaluating the strategies you have employed and their outcomes. This analysis allows us to tailor our approach to better meet your specific needs and build upon your past experiences.

2. Developmental History: Understanding your family history and any past traumas is crucial to comprehensively assess your overall well-being. By uncovering these aspects, we gain valuable insights into potential factors that may influence your weight management journey and guide us in providing personalized support.

3. Current Life Situation: We inquire about your current life circumstances to gain a comprehensive understanding of the stressors and emotional support systems in your life. This knowledge helps us develop strategies to address potential obstacles and create a conducive environment for your success.

Should the assessment reveal a need for therapy prior to surgery, we are fully equipped to provide essential psychotherapy services. Our team of experienced professionals is dedicated to supporting you throughout this process, ensuring that you receive the necessary guidance and assistance to navigate any emotional and psychological challenges that may arise.

By prioritizing your mental well-being alongside the physical aspects of weight loss surgery, we aim to maximize your chances of long-term success and overall well-being. Our comprehensive approach, combined with our commitment to personalized care, sets us apart and ensures that you receive the utmost support on your transformative journey towards a healthier lifestyle.
