Pre Weight Loss Surgery Therapy

Welcome to our Pre-Surgery Preparation Therapy program, designed to help you mentally and emotionally prepare for weight loss surgery. Undergoing weight loss surgery is a significant decision, and we are here to support you every step of the way, ensuring you are well-prepared for the lifestyle changes that accompany this journey.

Purpose of the Therapy

Our 6-session therapy program provides comprehensive support to help you understand the surgical process, develop healthy habits, and build the emotional resilience needed for a successful outcome. Through personalized guidance and evidence-based techniques, we aim to empower you to achieve lasting positive changes in your life.

What to Expect

During the therapy sessions, you will:

1. Initial Assessment: We start with a thorough assessment to understand your unique needs and screen for any underlying eating disorders.
2. Emotional Readiness: Learn about the emotional and psychological aspects of weight loss surgery and assess your readiness for the procedure.
3. Healthy Eating Habits: Receive nutrition education and create a personalized meal plan to prepare for post-surgery life.
4. Coping Strategies: Develop effective stress management techniques and healthy coping strategies to manage anxiety and emotional eating.
5. Motivation and Expectations: Explore your motivations, set realistic goals, and develop a plan to maintain motivation throughout your weight loss journey.
6. Support System: Build a strong support network and create a post-surgery support plan to ensure long-term success.

Important Disclaimer

Please note that clients must be stable and not presenting with extreme medical issues. An initial assessment will determine if there is an underlying eating disorder that requires specific attention. If you are experiencing severe symptoms that require immediate medical attention, we recommend seeking appropriate medical treatment before participating in our therapy sessions.

Collaboration with Other Professionals

To ensure a holistic approach to your weight loss surgery journey, it is essential that you identify a psychiatrist for medication evaluation and management if necessary. Our staff will collaborate closely with your psychiatrist to provide comprehensive support and ensure all aspects of your treatment are addressed cohesively.

Our Commitment

We are dedicated to creating a supportive and non-judgmental environment where you can feel safe to explore and prepare for weight loss surgery. Our experienced therapists are here to guide you every step of the way, empowering you to achieve lasting positive changes.
