What is Tampa Weight Loss Institute?
Tampa Weight Loss Institute is a bariatric surgery practice with offices in Tampa and Bradenton, Florida. Its main service is weight loss surgery, including duodenal switch, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, vertical sleeve gastrectomy, and bariatric revision surgery. It describes its bariatric work as robotic. It also lists general surgeries, weight loss medications, hormone replacement therapy, and testosterone therapy. It does not list peptide therapy or longevity medicine.
Dr. Amit Taggar leads the clinic and founded it. He is described as a board-certified, fellowship-trained bariatric surgeon. The clinic lists 2025 as its founding year, and it has a Google rating of 5 from 143 reviews. Its patient stories all concern surgery, and none concern medication. Its hours are given two ways: Monday through Friday, 9AM to 5PM, and elsewhere as in-clinic Monday through Wednesday with phone availability Thursday and Friday. In its own words: "Through carefully selected medications or advanced surgical options, we’ll help you move forward with confidence."
This listing is for its Tampa office at 1502 W Fletcher Ave #107.
What does it cost?
It publishes no medication prices, and it does not say whether medication is included in any price. It shows a self-pay figure of $9,280 but does not say what that covers. The first consultation is free. The only payment option it names is CareCredit financing. It does not say whether it accepts insurance, and it gives no membership terms or cancellation policy.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who writes the prescription for tirzepatide or semaglutide, and what training that person has. The clinic does not say. Ask the same about its hormone and testosterone therapy. Ask whether any quoted program fee includes the medication, and whether the medication is brand-name or compounded. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether phone visits can cover medication check-ins.
Ask what the $9,280 figure covers. It lists several outside surgical facilities, so ask which one you would use and whether it bills separately from the surgeon. Ask which office you would visit and which hours apply, since the hours it gives do not match. Ask how cancellation and refunds work before you pay anything. The main line is (813) 549-2392.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you are considering weight loss surgery, you can pay out of pocket or through CareCredit, and you want a surgeon-led practice in Tampa or Bradenton. It is a weaker match if you want a medication-only program with published prices, since none are listed.
