Psychological Assessments & Evaluations

Once arriving at the decision to undergo weightloss surgery (WLS), the next step is to meet with your bariatric surgeon for consultation, and then to meet with a mental health professional for psychological assessment and clearance.

WLS Choices for Change offers psychological evaluation services to assist you and your medical team in clarifying your goals and motivations for WLS surgery. We also offer support and recommendations for long-term post-surgery success.

Education & Support

Prior to weightloss surgery, it is essential to educate yourself about the types of weightloss surgery available, and to arrive at a firm understanding of what to expect both before the surgery as well as afterward.

It is important to understand that weightloss surgery is not a cure, but is a powerful tool that can assist you in shedding excess weight and gaining and maintaining greater health and vitality. Your success will depend on how you use your WLS tool.

WLS Choices for Change offers bariatric patients in-depth education, resources and support to better understand weight-loss surgery options. We also offer assistance in assessing and changing lifestyle habits to ensure long-term post-operative success.
