Bariatric Clearance Assessment
Bariatric Clearance Assessment
Are you preparing for bariatric surgery and need a mental health clearance? Are you feeling a mix of excitement and anxiety about your upcoming procedure? Are you wondering if you’re emotionally ready to make lifelong changes to your health and lifestyle?
A Bariatric Clearance Assessment helps ensure you’re not only medically prepared but also emotionally and psychologically ready for surgery. This evaluation is designed to support you—not to stand in your way.
During your assessment, you’ll meet with a licensed mental health professional who will discuss your medical and mental health history, eating behaviors, coping skills, support system, and readiness for lifestyle changes. The goal is to identify strengths and address any potential challenges before surgery to help set you up for long-term success.
Bariatric Clearance Assessments have proven to be beneficial for individuals who:
Are preparing for gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, or lap-band surgery
Want to better understand their relationship with food and emotional triggers
Need to strengthen coping mechanisms and stress management before surgery
Are working with a multidisciplinary bariatric team and need psychological clearance
Your emotional well-being is just as important as your physical health. This process ensures you have the tools, mindset, and support to make your transformation sustainable and empowering.
