What Is a Bariatric Psychological Evaluation?

 

A bariatric psychological evaluation is a standard part of the surgical approval process for many bariatric programs. The purpose is to assess emotional well-being, identify potential challenges, and ensure individuals have the tools and support needed to succeed after surgery.

 

These evaluations are not meant to prevent surgery, but rather to promote the best possible outcomes by identifying strengths and areas where additional support may be helpful.
