This free weight loss quiz from Florida Surgery & Weight Loss Center is designed to help you better understand your options based on your goals, BMI, lifestyle, and health factors. In just a few minutes, you’ll get personalized guidance on whether medical weight loss, weight loss injections, or bariatric surgery may be worth discussing with a licensed provider.

Take the quiz below to explore your options and take the first step toward safe, sustainable weight loss.


How This Weight Loss Quiz Helps

This quiz helps patients compare medical weight loss, GLP-1 injections, and bariatric surgery by asking about weight loss goals, BMI range, health conditions, physical activity, eating habits, and comfort with surgery.

Your result may suggest one of three general paths: a medical weight loss program, a bariatric surgery consultation, or a combined discussion of both options. The quiz does not diagnose or prescribe treatment; a licensed medical provider must review your history and eligibility.

Understanding Your Weight Loss Options

How do I know if I need medical weight loss or bariatric surgery?

The best option depends on factors such as BMI, health conditions, past weight loss attempts, and personal goals. This quiz helps guide you toward the most appropriate next step.

Are weight loss injections like semaglutide or tirzepatide right for me?

GLP-1 medications may be helpful for patients who struggle with appetite, cravings, or long-term weight management. A licensed provider must determine eligibility after evaluation.

When is bariatric surgery recommended for weight loss?

Bariatric surgery may be considered for patients with higher BMI or obesity-related conditions when other weight loss methods have not been successful.

Can I start with medical weight loss before considering surgery?

Yes. Many patients begin with non-surgical options such as GLP-1 medications before exploring surgical solutions if needed.

Do I need an in-person visit, or can I start with telehealth?

Many patients can begin with telehealth consultations. In-person visits are also available depending on your needs and treatment plan.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an amazing experience with Dr. Sergey Terushkin and his entire team for my panniculectomy. From my initial consultation through my recovery, I felt informed, respected, and genuinely cared for. Dr. Terushkin took the time to answer all of my questions, explained the procedure thoroughly, and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. The surgery went smoothly, and my results have exceeded my expectations. Not only do I feel more confident, but I also feel much more comfortable in my daily life. The improvement in my mobility and overall quality of life has been incredible. The office staff was always friendly, professional, and responsive, making the entire process stress-free. I truly appreciate the excellent care I received and would highly recommend Dr. Sergey Terushkin to anyone considering a panniculectomy or other reconstructive procedures.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot recommend Dr. Terushkin and his team enough! From my very first consultation through my recovery, I felt genuinely cared for every step of the way. From the moment I arrived at the hospital on June 18 for my panniculectomy, I knew I was in great hands. The entire experience was organized, welcoming, and professional, it honestly felt like boarding a cruise ship. Every member of the surgical team made me feel comfortable, safe, and confident that I was receiving the best possible care. Dr. Terushkin is an exceptional surgeon. His professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail exceeded my expectations. My panniculectomy results have been amazing. After losing a significant amount of weight, this surgery has truly been life-changing. I feel healthier, more comfortable, and more confident than I have in years. It has given me a new sense of freedom and has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. A special thank you to Jesus, the coordinator, who made the entire process seamless. He was always kind, responsive, and patient, making sure all of my questions were answered and that I felt supported every step of the way. The front desk staff was equally amazing. Everyone was warm, welcoming, and genuinely cared about their patients. One moment that I’ll never forget was having my drains removed. The young lady at the front desk stepped in to assist the nurse practitioner and held my hand the entire time, comforting and reassuring me. She helped ease my anxiety so much that before I knew it, my drains were out, and I barely felt a thing. That level of compassion speaks volumes about the culture of this practice. The care I received before, during, and after surgery was truly outstanding. Every person I encountered treated me with kindness, respect, and genuine compassion. It’s rare to find a medical team that combines exceptional surgical skill with such heartfelt patient care. Thank you, Dr. Terushkin, Jesus, and the entire team, for helping me begin this new chapter with confidence. I am beyond grateful for my experience and my results, and I wholeheartedly recommend this practice to anyone considering a panniculectomy or any other procedure. You will be in the best hands.

Dr Sergey Terushkin and his staff were great. I went in for a lipoma removal on my forehead. They kept me informed every step of the way. Dr Sergey was so professional and informative. I felt very comfortable with him. He made me feel at ease from the 1st consultation to the day of my surgery. Thank you for taking care of me.

I am so glad I found Dr. Terushkin for my gallbladder removal. He is highly experienced, very sweet, kind and very informative. He was thorough in explaining the procedure , my surgery went very well! I didn’t have to take pain medication and my bellybutton looks better than before my surgery! :) Thank you Dr T ! If I ever need surgery again, I would go back to him without hesitation. His assistant Jesus is also very helpful and professional. I recommend this surgeon/office without hesitation.

Really GOOD experience 👍 I had several lipomas removed by Dr. Terushkin. I was very worried about the scars but he did a great job and they’re barely visible.
