Behavioral Evaluation in Ann Arbor

Can anyone recommend a therapist in Ann Arbor for my psychiatric evaluation required for bariatric surgery? Specifically anyone within U of M because I have UM Premier Care insurance.

Thanks :D

**UPDATE 9/25** I found out my hospital uses their own therapist. Thanks!

I see the doctors and therapists at the Racheal Upjohn Center on Plymouth Road over my Domino Farms, but I don't know if they do the bariatric evaluation.  I wasn't going their when I had my surgery, so I saw a different doctor in Howell (he was not a U of M doc though).

 

Good Luck... Hope you can find something....

 

OH the appointments number for where I go is 1-734-764-6443  I may be worth the call at least....

 

HUGS,

 

If you are going through U of M, you should call their bariatric clinic..  They set up the psych eval for those going through their program. 

I'm going through Henry Ford Hospital.  I just found out on Friday that they send you to their own bariatric therapist at the hospital.  So I don't have to worry about finding some random therapist.  

When I was going through the WLS process back in 2008 before I got pregnant, the Barix Clinic in Ypsilanti had you go through your own therapist so that's why I wondered.  

I get to speak with the Bariatric nurse on Monday to go over everything.  Super excited.

So, you were going to go through U of M and now selected Henry Ford?  Your surgeon on your postings still says Dr. Birkmeyer..... 

After giving birth at U of M, I decided that I'd rather go some place else for my surgery.
I can't figure out how to change the surgeons. If you know, please tell me.
Nevermind, figured it out...

Even though you found a therapist, I would like to recommend someone for future reference.  She is a bariatric patient herself (5-6 years post-op RNY) and specializes in bariatric patients.  She offers pre and post-op therapy as well as does psychological evaluations for insurance companies.
