Toronto's hospital-based bariatric surgery programs offer very solid psychological counselling pre and post surgery, including online peer interaction. All of these are very helpful to individuals undergoing the process.

 

I regularly see clients who feel that they still fundamentally need to address issues with food, body, weight and or self-esteem pre and/or post surgery. Many clients want the security of knowing that they have addressed the issues that caused them to have surgery in the first place, and do not want to slip backwards after the procedure.
