Pre-Surgical Evaluation

Your Pre-Surgical Assessment

Before you can undergo your bariatric surgery, your doctor and insurance company will require a pre-surgical assessment. 

While the pre-surgical assessment is a requirement, your assessment with Dr. Macey is different because it is an in-depth self-analysis evaluation, a tool to help you know your exact strengths and areas for improvement which means you can realize your unique potential and surpass your goals fast. Doctors trust her insight into her patients’ mental well-being and readiness for lasting change, and insurance companies honor her assessments.

Dr. Macey now offers online and telephone-based pre-surgical assessments, valid in all 50 states.  This makes it easy for patients to get the help needed, without even leaving the comfort of their own homes.

The evaluation will provide you with unbiased, professional information as well as strategies to overcome possible bumps in the road. The assessment includes standardize testing, three questionnaires, a clinical interview, and timely report writing submitted to your physician and insurance company.

Dr. Macey offers a full diagnostic assessment as outlined by the American Metabolic and Bariatric Association. This mandatory assessment is designed to evaluate your emotional and psycho-social readiness for bariatric surgery. The process will help you identify personal characteristics that will help you succeed in your weight reduction journey before and after surgery, as well as identify the factors that might inhibit you from reaching your goal.
