Choosing bariatric surgery is a significant decision, and understanding your options is an important part of that process. At the Center for Metabolic and Robotic Surgery, Dr. Donald Fridley provides comprehensive bariatric surgical care from office locations in Hudson and Lutz, Florida, serving patients throughout Tampa Bay and surrounding communities.
Every patient’s health history, weight loss journey, and goals are different, which is why care begins with an individualized evaluation to determine whether bariatric surgery is appropriate and which procedure may best meet each patient’s medical needs and long-term goals.
Achieve significant weight loss goals, safely, with Gastric Bypass Surgery.
Gastric bypass is a well-established bariatric procedure that creates a smaller stomach pouch and changes how food travels through part of the digestive system. It may be an option for patients seeking significant weight loss and improvement in certain obesity-related health conditions.
Achieve your weight loss goals, with minimized surgical risk, through a Gastric Sleeve.
Gastric sleeve surgery, also known as sleeve gastrectomy, reduces the size of the stomach to help patients feel satisfied with smaller portions. The procedure also affects hormones involved in hunger and appetite, supporting long-term weight loss when combined with healthy lifestyle changes.
Improve or correct a previous Bariatric Procedure with Bariatric Revisional Surgery.
Bariatric revision surgery may be an option for patients who have experienced weight regain, inadequate weight loss, complications, or other concerns following a previous bariatric procedure. Dr. Fridley evaluates each patient’s surgical history and individual circumstances to determine the most appropriate treatment options.
Bariatric surgery is not simply about losing weight. For many patients, it can be an important step toward improving obesity-related health conditions, increasing mobility, and supporting a healthier quality of life. Choosing the right procedure begins with understanding the individual, not simply choosing a surgery.
Dr. Donald Fridley takes each patient’s medical history, previous weight loss efforts, existing health conditions, and personal goals into consideration when discussing bariatric surgery options. For patients who have undergone weight loss surgery in the past, previous procedures and current concerns are also carefully evaluated. This individualized approach helps determine which treatment option may be most appropriate for each patient’s needs.

Deciding whether bariatric surgery is right for you involves more than looking at a number on the scale. Several factors may be considered, including BMI, obesity-related health conditions, previous weight loss efforts, medical history, and your readiness for the nutritional and lifestyle changes that follow surgery.
