If you’re struggling with obesity or weight-related health issues, and traditional diets haven’t delivered results, you’re not alone. Dr. Steve Siegal offers a comprehensive range of surgical and non-surgical weight loss solutions — including gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, revision surgery, and medical weight loss with GLP-1 injections — all personalized to help you achieve real, lasting results.
Whether you’re ready for surgery or looking for a non-invasive alternative, we’ll help you choose the best path for your lifestyle, goals, and health needs.
A Popular & Effective Surgical Option
The gastric sleeve (sleeve gastrectomy) is one of the most widely performed weight loss procedures today. It involves removing a portion of your stomach, creating a narrow “sleeve” that limits how much you can eat and helps you feel full faster.
Metabolic Surgery with Rapid Results
The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass creates a small stomach pouch and reroutes your digestive tract to reduce both food intake and calorie absorption. This procedure not only supports rapid weight loss but also offers metabolic benefits that may reverse conditions like Type 2 diabetes and acid reflux.
A Powerful Option for Significant, Lasting Weight Loss
SADI-S is a newer, minimally invasive bariatric procedure designed to deliver dramatic weight loss and improve obesity-related health conditions. Originally developed to simplify the biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS), it combines a sleeve gastrectomy with a single connection between the small intestine and the duodenum. This reduces how much you can eat and limits calorie absorption — without the high risk of severe nutritional deficiencies seen in older techniques.
SADI-S can be performed as a primary procedure or as a revision surgery after a previous bariatric operation, such as a gastric sleeve, that didn’t deliver the desired results.
Solutions When Previous Surgeries Fall Short
If you’ve had weight loss surgery in the past and didn’t get the results you hoped for — or experienced complications — revision surgery may be the answer. Dr. Siegal provides personalized evaluations and safe, effective revision options to help you get back on track.
Semaglutide & Tirzepatide for Non-Surgical Fat Loss
Not ready for surgery? Our medical weight loss program features FDA-approved GLP-1 medications — including Semaglutide (Ozempic®, Wegovy®) and Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®, Zepbound™) — designed to curb cravings, balance blood sugar, and help you lose weight safely and steadily.
Our provider-guided program includes personalized dosing, nutritional guidance, and optional add-ons like lipotropic shots. We’ll help you choose between Semaglutide and Tirzepatide based on your medical history, goals, and preferences.
With advanced fellowship training and the advancement of minimally invasive surgery, bariatric surgery is very safe. The risk of surgery is often time no greater than gallbladder removal.
Most patients lose 50–70% of their excess weight within the first 12–18 months. Outcomes vary depending on your procedure, commitment, and lifestyle habits.
Many insurance providers do cover bariatric surgery if you meet specific criteria. Our team will help verify your benefits, handle approvals, and walk you through every step. Financing and self-pay options are also available.
Thanks to minimally invasive approaches, most patients return home the same or next day, with light activity resuming in 1–2 weeks. Full recovery depends on the procedure and individual healing process.
Surgery and GLP-1 treatments are powerful tools, but long-term success depends on your lifestyle. Dr. Siegal offers complete support, including nutritional and behavioral coaching, to help you maintain your results.
If your BMI is 40+, or 35+ with health conditions, you may qualify for surgery. GLP-1s are ideal for those with a BMI between 27–40 seeking a non-surgical solution. Dr. Siegal will guide you to the right option during your consultation.
Whether you’re ready for surgery or exploring non-invasive solutions, Dr. Steve Siegal and his caring team in Fort Myers are here to help.
