We are a licensed clinical psychologists who regularly conducts pre-bariatric surgery psychological evaluations that meet all insurance and surgeon requirements.\n<\/p>\n While this sounds frightening and intimidating, we ensure that it will not be.<\/p>\n The evaluation is not a pass or fail test. It is more of a discussion to help you identify potential problems that might lead to difficulty after surgery. Since many obese individuals may suffer from depression, anxiety, binge eating, and other problems, these are typically NOT reasons to delay or deny surgery. If there is anything that concerns us, we will share it with you during the visit and we will work with you to develop a plan to better prepare you to have surgery. The majority of patients that we evaluate are ready to have surgery. Those who may need treatment prior to surgery will be given specific recommendations and referrals. Ultimately, your surgeon will make a decision as to whether he or she will proceed with the surgery \u2013 not the psychologist.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/body><\/html><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row parallax=”content-moving” overlay_set=”show_overlay_color” overlay_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.5)” text_color=”__” heading_color=”__” link_color=”__” link_hover_color=”__” css=”.vc_custom_1515570248890{padding-top: 130px !important;padding-bottom: 155px !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/everybodybehavioralhealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/aaron-burden-90144.jpg?id=1176) !important;background-position: center;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}” tablet_css=”.vc_custom_1515570248890{padding-top: 75px !important;padding-bottom: 45px !important;}” mobile_css=”.vc_custom_1515570248891{padding-top: 75px !important;padding-bottom: 45px !important;}”][vc_column text_align=”text-center” max_width=”682px” horizontal_align=”block-align-center” text_color=”light” heading_color=”__” link_color=”__” link_hover_color=”__”][floral_shortcode_heading heading_title=”We’re here to help” heading_el_tag=”p” heading_title_size=”28″ heading_title_line_height=”1.5″ heading_text_fs=”fs-italic” heading_subtitle_enable=”0″ heading_separator_enable=”0″ heading_title_responsive_title_size=”0″][floral_shortcode_heading heading_title=”Pre-Bariatric Surgery…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","advgb_blocks_editor_width":"","advgb_blocks_columns_visual_guide":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-950","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nWhy have a pre-bariatric surgery psychological evaluation?<\/h3>\n
