Bariatric surgery refers to a group of procedures designed to treat clinical obesity by altering the digestive system. These surgeries help you lose weight by physically limiting the amount of food the stomach can hold and resetting the hormonal signals that control hunger.
We start with a comprehensive medical evaluation and a free insurance verification. Our team handles the paperwork and coordination with your provider so you can focus entirely on your health.
This stage involves personalized nutritional counseling and health optimization. We work closely with you to prepare your body for a safe and successful surgery, ensuring you have the tools for long-term maintenance.
Dr. Terushkin performs your minimally invasive surgery using advanced laparoscopic techniques. Once you have reached your goals, we offer solutions like Panniculectomy (excess skin removal) to finalize your results.
The gastric sleeve is the most frequently performed weight loss surgery in Florida. During this minimally invasive procedure, Dr. Terushkin removes approximately 80% of the stomach to create a narrow, sleeve-like tube, significantly reducing hunger hormones.
The gastric sleeve is popular because it does not involve intestinal rerouting. Patients benefit from a lower risk of long-term vitamin deficiencies and a faster recovery time.
Often called the “gold standard” of bariatric medicine, the Gastric Bypass is ideal for patients seeking significant metabolic change. It works by combining stomach restriction with a rerouting of the small intestine to limit calorie absorption.
This procedure is typically recommended for patients with a higher BMI or those suffering from specific conditions like poorly controlled Type 2 Diabetes or chronic acid reflux (GERD).
If a previous weight loss surgery—such as a Lap-Band or an older sleeve—has failed or led to complications, you are not out of options. Dr. Terushkin is a specialist in revisional bariatric surgery, performing corrective procedures to help you overcome plateaus and restore your weight loss momentum.
