Before Your Surgery
Having weight loss surgery is truly a life changing event. The changes are as big as the ones that take place when you get married or after being married for a while, having children. The changes are mostly good, but serious stress can occur.
In order to help our patients achieve success, our program requires all of our surgical candidates to undergo a psychological evaluation with one of our Clinical Psychologists, attend our unique weekend Healthy Eating Workshop, attend one of our weekly nutrition classes, and attend one of our support group meetings. Here you will learn the skills you need to be successful in handling those stressful moments, learn to make wise food choices, and see the valuable support that is available to help you on your journey.
