DAVENPORT, Fla., — AdventHealth is expanding once again in Polk County with the opening of a newly enhanced AdventHealth Medical Group (AHMG) Weight Loss and Bariatric Surgery in Davenport. The space will allow Dr. Shiva Seetahal, the opportunity to see and help even more patients, bringing expert weight loss and bariatric surgery care closer to home for community members.

According to the most recent data from the Florida Department of Health nearly one in three Floridians are overweight or obese, an increase of nearly two percent from the year before.
The disease of obesity increases the risks of morbidity and mortality because of the diseases and conditions that are commonly associated with it, such as type II diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, cancer and sleep apnea, among other health risks.
However, studies show weight loss and bariatric surgery care has proven to be effective in reducing these conditions. If you’re a candidate for weight loss and bariatric surgery care, doctors say it can have transformative effects that change your health for the better.
Dr. Seetahal offers a wide spectrum of general surgery procedures, with his specialty being minimally invasive and laparoscopic approaches. He prides himself on maintaining high standards of surgical management, patient care and patient satisfaction.
“We are delighted that the expansion to our office is complete, allowing us to care for even more people in our community,” Dr. Seetahal said. “With obesity rates on the rise in Polk County and across the country, it’s imperative that those in our community have easy access to weight loss and bariatric surgery care where they live. I am honored to be part of this community, and we are committed to providing exceptional whole-person care to everyone who needs it.”
