Dr. Cesare Peraglie, MD

Dr. Cesare Peraglie is a board-certified bariatric and general surgeon practicing in Kissimmee, Florida. He specializes in minimally invasive bariatric surgery, including gastric bypass procedures, and colon and rectal surgery, serving patients across Central Florida. His practice focuses on weight loss surgery, explaining bariatric terms in language patients can understand. Dr. Peraglie emphasizes that weight loss surgery helps patients find ways to enjoy social eating on their own terms, even summer BBQs. He acknowledges the challenges of recovery, like difficult water intake post-surgery, and offers practical advice such as taking sips and setting hourly alarms. The practice highlights that a major game-changer after bariatric surgery is learning *why* one eats, distinguishing between head hunger and physical hunger. Dr. Peraglie views obesity as rarely an isolated condition, often associated with comorbidities like diabetes, noting that bariatric surgery has been shown to put type 2 diabetes into remission for many patients, normalizing blood sugar and reducing or eliminating medication. The practice fosters a supportive community where all individuals, whether pre-op, post-op, or in between, are welcome and rooted for.
