Psych Referrals

A psychological evaluation is a common requirement for patients pursuing bariatric surgery. This assessment helps satisfy insurance requirements and ensures that patients are mentally prepared for the lifestyle changes that come with surgery. The evaluation assesses emotional well-being, coping skills, and readiness to make long-term behavioral changes that contribute to a successful weight loss journey.

We strongly recommend choosing a psychologist experienced in conducting and documenting pre-bariatric surgery evaluations. Below are providers that Eviva has worked closely with and has referred many patients to.
