Weight Loss Surgery by Caring Experts at Mayo Clinic in Florida
We understand that you are unique, so we tailor our support to you and your individual needs.
Weight loss (bariatric) surgery at Mayo Clinic in Florida is a proven option that can help you achieve the results you want when other approaches, like diet and medication, fall short of your goals.
Surgery is a tool, not a quick fix. But when accompanied by healthy lifestyle changes, it can deliver long-term results that improve your physical, emotional and social well-being.
With you at every step
Led by board-certified doctors, our team of experts can help you address all aspects of weight loss before and after surgery.
From your initial evaluation through surgery and post-operative care, you’ll receive ongoing support. Afterward, you’ll benefit from our lifelong support group and from guidance regarding lifestyle changes, nutrition education, exercise and medications required to maintain continued success.
Reasons to choose Mayo Clinic as your weight loss partner
We are an MBSAQIP-accredited center
Mayo Clinic has been accredited as a comprehensive center by the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program since 2015. This designation recognizes centers that provide top-quality care with outcomes that meet or exceed national standards.
Financial eligibility and care coordination
Many insurance companies cover surgery once requirements are met. Our financial counselors and care coordinators can answer questions and help you navigate your insurance benefits, as well as guide you through every step of the evaluation process.
Every service you need, under a single roof
Mayo Clinic is the only center in Northeast Florida where all bariatric care team providers – including medical doctors, surgeons, psychologists, nutritionists and care coordinators – are in one location, under a single roof. We provide you with convenience, ease of scheduling, and coordinated appointments.
Virtual visits for added convenience
Telehealth appointments are available for Florida and Georgia residents. These virtual visits offer convenient scheduling with less time away from work and less travel to the clinic. A Mayo Clinic study showed our virtual visits are equally effective as face-to-face visits in terms of time to surgery and satisfaction with our program.
Access to many types of surgeries, including those that are not widely available
̶ Robotic and minimally invasive surgeries
̶ Revisional surgery to repair or change a previous weight loss procedure
̶ Hernia repair with bariatric surgery

Collaboration with post-bariatric plastic surgery
