Because bariatric surgery requires highly restrictive and long-term behavioral changes afterwards, candidates are often required to complete a psychological evaluation to determine their appropriateness for surgery.
Evaluations include an interview and psychological assessment by a qualified mental health professional.
Sasha Dimitrjevitch is a licensed psychotherapist who specializes in bariatric evaluations and has successfully conducted many interviews with clients seeking bariatric surgery. Sasha collaborates with physicians to ensure a positive outcome for all patients.
Evaluations may be conducted in person or through telehealth.
Insurance may cover a portion of the cost.
