Dr. Stelios Rekkas is a fellowship-trained bariatric and general surgeon (FACS, FASMBS) who leads Manatee Weight Loss Center / Manatee Surgical Alliance in Bradenton, FL, and serves as Director of Bariatric Surgery at Manatee Memorial Hospital. A Manatee County native raised on Anna Maria Island, he graduated with high honors from the University of Florida, earned his medical degree at Florida State University College of Medicine, completed his general surgery residency at Mount Sinai Medical Center, and finished a fellowship in minimally invasive, bariatric, and robotic surgery at Jackson Hospital in Miami. With roughly two decades of experience, he is one of the higher-volume robotic bariatric surgeons in the region, performing sleeve gastrectomy and bariatric procedures more often than typical peers and operating extensively on the da Vinci platform. His robotic expertise is significant enough that Intuitive designates him a robotic surgical proctor, meaning he trains other surgeons across the country. He carries strong patient ratings (around 4.4 to 4.8 across directories) and accepts new patients and telehealth. Beyond weight-loss surgery, his general-surgery practice includes procedures such as gallbladder and colon surgery, serving the broader Bradenton-Sarasota-Lakewood Ranch market.
