If I choose to find out if I am a potential candidate for weight loss surgery, will I have to take a psychological test and how do I do that?
Correction of morbid obesity requires life long changes, and this is true even if a patient undergoes weight loss surgery. Therefore, Dr. Thomas will order that a prospective candidate undergo psychological screening. The test can be taken administered on line, through this website, in a private and confidential manner or if needed, mailed to you on request. The results will be provided to Dr. Thomas, your primary care physician and insurance company which usually requires this clearance. The test has 160+ questions that evaluate multiple factors and can be administered in approximately 35 minutes.
