About the role

KC Bariatric at AdventHealth is seeking an experienced, fellowship-trained Bariatric & Metabolic Surgeon to join one of the nation's most established and high-volume bariatric surgery programs in Lenexa, Kansas.

Responsibilities: Perform sleeve gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, complex bariatric revisions and conversions, upper endoscopy (EGD), and management of surgical needs and complications within the bariatric patient population. Care for patients across the continuum of obesity and metabolic disease, with coordinated support before surgery and throughout long-term follow-up. Develop trusted relationships with patients and families through clear communication, education, and a patient-centered approach to treatment decisions. Build productive relationships with referring physicians and other clinical partners to strengthen access, referral pathways, and continuity of care. Collaborate effectively with surgeons, APPs, medical weight-management providers, dietitians, behavioral health professionals, nursing, and other members of the bariatric team.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
