About Dr. Sergey Terushkin

Dr. Sergey Terushkin, MD, FACS, is a board-certified general and bariatric surgeon specializing in minimally invasive surgery, surgical weight loss and comprehensive obesity care. He completed advanced fellowship training in minimally invasive and bariatric surgery at Cleveland Clinic Florida.

His approach combines modern surgical techniques with careful treatment planning and individualized patient support. Each patient receives recommendations based on medical history, weight loss goals, previous treatments and long-term health needs.

Dr. Terushkin performs bariatric procedures such as gastric sleeve and gastric bypass, as well as general surgical procedures including laparoscopic gallbladder surgery and hernia repair. He also evaluates patients who need revisional bariatric surgery or excess-skin removal following major weight loss.

Bariatric Surgery Procedures

Dr. Terushkin provides a broad range of surgical and minimally invasive weight loss options. The appropriate procedure depends on a patient’s health history, body mass index, previous treatment, weight loss goals, and long-term medical needs.

Gastric Sleeve Surgery

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy reduces the size of the stomach and may help eligible patients achieve meaningful, sustained weight loss when combined with long-term nutrition and lifestyle support.

Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass

Gastric bypass is an established bariatric procedure that creates a smaller stomach pouch and changes the pathway of food through the digestive system to support weight loss and metabolic improvement.

Intragastric Balloon

An intragastric balloon is a temporary, non-incisional weight loss option designed to occupy space in the stomach and help eligible patients feel full sooner while participating in a structured weight management program.

Revisional Bariatric Surgery

Revisional surgery may be considered when a previous bariatric procedure has not produced the expected result, weight has returned, or a patient has developed a complication that requires surgical evaluation.

Panniculectomy After Weight Loss

Panniculectomy removes excess hanging abdominal skin that may remain after significant weight loss and can contribute to irritation, hygiene concerns, discomfort, or limitations in daily activity.

Medical Weight Loss Management

Not every patient needs surgery. Medical weight management may include nutritional guidance, behavioral support, health monitoring, and prescription treatment when clinically appropriate.

Choosing the Right Weight Loss Approach

Weight loss care should not follow a one-size-fits-all plan. Dr. Terushkin evaluates each patient’s medical conditions, previous weight loss attempts, surgical history, medication use, and personal goals before recommending treatment.

Some patients may benefit from bariatric surgery, while others may be better candidates for a non-surgical procedure or a physician-supervised medical weight loss program.
