Psychological Support
We incorporate the services of a psychologist prior to your surgery and make them available after your surgery. Our psychologist is an active presenter at our support groups and assists our patients as they experience the drastic changes that commonly occur after significant weight loss. Topics addressed before and after surgery include, but are not limited to, depression, anxiety, altered body image, emotional eating and stress. |
The mind/body connection has been documented and demonstrated for many years. Simply put, your thoughts/emotions affect your physical well-being and vice versa. As your body changes, you will experience emotional changes as well. Recognizing these changes and coping positively with the changes is essential to your overall well-being. |
