In today's episode of Psych Talk I chat with Mary-Frances Moore, LMHC, CCTP-II about the psychological impacts of bariatric surgery. Mary-Frances starts the discussion by sharing what got her interested in the psychological impacts of bariatric surgery, what bariatric surgery is, and who is a good candidate for bariatric surgery . She discusses the purpose of a psychological evaluation before bariatric surgery and what such an evaluation entails. Mary-Frances describes ways individuals can psychologically prepare for bariatric surgery, as well as the psychological impacts of bariatric surgery. We discuss psychological pieces individuals miss or do not consider when it comes to preparing for bariatric surgery, as well as post-operatively, in addition to gaps when it comes to support available for those preparing for or who have gone through bariatric surgery. Further, Mary-Frances shares mental health supports individuals should consider before, during, and after bariatric surgery.
