Bariatric Psychologist/Counselor with Online Visits?

[LonnaRox 7]

Does anyone know of a good bariatric psychologist/counselor who does online visits? I'm scheduled for gastric sleeve surgery 3/30 gastric and I'd like to work with a professional to maximize my results. Thanks!

I don't know of anyone in particular. I have seen where some folks have used an online psych eval and from watching My 600 Pound Life have seen that it is possible to have online counseling. Have you started with your surgeon's office? Maybe the person who did your psych evaluation can refer you to someone.

The biggest issue is whether or not the surgeon's office would accept it or not at this point in time.

I agree if it's for a clearance.

But, if it's for someone to see for help it shouldn't matter to your surgeon.
