The physical change that accompanies bariatric surgery is just one part of a successful approach to surgical weight loss. The patients who see the best results go through a mental change as well. Bariatric surgery patients must develop a whole new relationship with food and find ways to overcome the other emotional hurdles that have blocked past attempts at weight loss. New Jersey Bariatric Center understands this and has psychologists trained in the treatment of the bariatric patient. At any time in the pre- and post-surgery process, patients are encouraged to use this valuable resource to help them along their weight loss journey.
