Learn MoreThe Health Psychology service at the University of Illinois Hospital and Health Sciences System currently provides pre- and post-operative psychological services to bariatric surgery patients. Our goal is to help support patients in making healthy lifestyle changes to prepare them for bariatric surgery and to assist them in maintaining these changes long-term.
If you are a pre-surgical bariatric patient at the University of Illinois Hospital and Health Sciences System, the bariatric team will forward your information to the Health Psychology service and you will be contacted by Health Psychology to schedule your evaluation.
