Is Bariatric Surgery Right for You?: If you've reached a point where your weight is leading to serious health issues — or if there are factors beyond lifestyle that make it hard to manage your weight — then it could be time to explore medical weight loss procedures.

Here in Davenport, AdventHealth Weight Loss and Bariatric Surgery offers specialized procedures such as minimally invasive bariatric surgery. We’ll begin by walking you through our bariatric surgery criteria using factors like your BMI, age and any health conditions (like diabetes or high cholesterol) to determine whether you’re a good candidate for surgery.

Then, our bariatric doctors and weight loss specialists will create your step-by-step treatment plan. With an experienced staff at your side and a supportive environment, you’ll find the personalized, whole-person support you need.
Bariatric Surgery Options Tailored to Your Needs: Your health journey is as individual as your fingerprint. That’s why we offer customized care that’s tailored to your unique medical history, your current lifestyle challenges and your short- and long-term goals. Feel confident knowing our team is committed to caring for you every step of the way.

Through our thorough assessment process, our multidisciplinary team of bariatric specialists will make sure every element of your plan is thoughtfully considered. We offer some of the most advanced weight loss surgeries and treatments with benefits that include reduced scarring and faster healing times.

Some of the surgical weight loss options we offer include:

Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass

Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy

After your procedure, our team will continue to encourage your well-being and keep you motivated to achieve and maintain the best possible results. That's why we'll connect you with comprehensive care within our network, including nutritionists, dietitians and exercise specialists to help guide you through recovery and beyond.
Your Support System for Life: Before, during and after your weight loss surgery, our team will guide your path to wellness day by day. Beyond helping you manage your high blood pressure, high cholesterol, sleep apnea or heart disease, our network of care is designed to address more than just physical health.

We approach your care with a compassionate mindset, and the AdventHealth network of care includes all of the whole-person support you need to reach a healthy weight — and maintain it, too. Lean on our support groups, dietitians, health wellness center and more.
Care That Goes Above and Beyond: Our weight loss specialists and bariatric doctors understand that if you've been struggling with your weight for years, it affects much more than your body; it can affect your confidence and keep you from living a fulfilling life.

Our whole-person approach to health is designed to help you conquer everything that's standing in the way of your whole-person wellness. That’s why we offer a range of supportive services to help you overcome mental challenges and keep you motivated, including behavioral care, spiritual ambassadors and non-denominational chapels and prayer rooms.

If you’re looking for a Florida weight loss center, the care you need may be right around the corner. Conveniently located in Davenport, our center offers a whole-person approach to surgical weight loss.

Sleeve Gastrectomy

The gastric sleeve has become a popular option, since it doesn’t involve bypassing of the small intestine and has a low rate of long-term complications. It is also still fairly effective at improving or potentially resolving type 2 diabetes for many patients.
Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass

You can expect significant weight loss from the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, which is designed to make your stomach much smaller. By enabling food to bypass much of the stomach and part of the small intestine, you’ll find yourself getting full more quickly, with less desire to eat, helping you keep the weight off for years to come.

Take the First Step With a Team at Your Side
