Bariatric Counseling and Support Program
Empowering Your Journey to Lasting Wellness
At Tennessee Mental Wellness, we understand that bariatric surgery is more than just a physical transformation—it's a profound journey that affects your mental, emotional, and overall well-being. Our Bariatric Counseling and Support Program is designed to support you every step of the way, from pre-surgery evaluations to ongoing post-surgery guidance.
Pre-Bariatric Surgery Mental Health Evaluation
Before undergoing bariatric surgery, many insurance providers require a mental health evaluation to ensure you are mentally and emotionally prepared for this life-changing procedure. Our licensed mental health professionals conduct a comprehensive 90-minute assessment to evaluate your readiness for surgery. This evaluation, which now includes a letter written to your surgeon (as required by most insurance providers), is a crucial step in your bariatric journey, helping you align your mental and emotional health with your physical goals. The cost for this evaluation is $200.
Post-Bariatric Surgery Support & Health Coaching Group
After your surgery, ongoing support is essential to achieving and maintaining your weight loss and wellness goals. Our Bariatric Surgery Support & Health Coaching Group is a safe and supportive space exclusively for bariatric patients. Led by a certified health coach, this group offers:
- Virtual or In-Person Weekly Meetings: Flexible options to fit your schedule and preferences.
- Healthy Habit Formation: Learn how to establish and sustain habits that promote long-term success.
- Positive Environment: Give and receive support in a judgment-free setting that fosters self-worth and body positivity.
- Binge-Eating Support: Access practical help and strategies to overcome challenges like binge eating.
- Ongoing Encouragement: Strengthen your self-image and connect with others on a similar journey.
For just $100 per month, you can join our weekly group classes and gain the support you need to thrive post-surgery.
