Deciding to have weight loss surgery is a big decision, and there are a number of things to take into consideration when making your choice. One important factor to consider is your mental health.
If you suffer from conditions such as depression, bipolar disorder or schizophrenia, we strongly encourage you to see a psychiatrist before beginning your surgery. This is because these conditions can be worsened by the changes in your body that occur with significant weight loss.
There are also some medical conditions that may make weight loss surgery unsuitable for you. We will discuss any such conditions with you in detail during your consultation. Overall, we want you to feel confident and informed about your decision to have surgery, and we will support you every step of the way.
