Bariatric Evaluations

---

Clarksburg Behavioral Health offers comprehensive bariatric surgery evaluations, including pre- and post-bariatric psychiatric evaluations, to support individuals during their surgical journey. These evaluations are essential for assessing psychological readiness for surgery, identifying mental health support needs, and delivering ongoing mental health support for bariatric patients to ensure long-term success. 

Our approach is thoughtful, clinically grounded, and patient-centered. We understand that bariatric surgery brings about not only physical changes but also significant emotional, behavioral, and lifestyle adjustments. Through these evaluations, we assist patients, families, and referring providers in recognizing areas of strength, potential concerns, and vital recommendations for support before and after surgery. 

This service may help with: 

- Pre-surgical psychiatric evaluation and clearance 

- Assessment of emotional and behavioral readiness 

- Identification of mental health support needs 

- Post-surgical emotional and behavioral follow-up 

- Support for adjustment, coping, and long-term wellness
