Medical Weight Loss

No procedure. GLP-1 medication when appropriate, a nutrition plan and regular check-ins with our team.

Often a fit whenYou have less weight to lose or want to begin without a procedure.

Step up

Gastric Balloon or ESG

Endoscopic options placed through the mouth, with no incisions on the abdomen.

Often a fit whenYou want more restriction than medication gives, without traditional surgery.

Lasting change

Gastric Sleeve or Bypass

Laparoscopic surgery that makes the stomach smaller, so you feel full on far less food.

Often a fit whenYou have more to lose, or a condition that medication has not controlled.

Moving from injections to surgery? GLP-1 injections must be stopped at least 2 weeks before any procedure, and our team plans that timing with you.

Questions

FAQ About Medical Weight Loss in Hialeah, FL

Is medical weight loss safe?

Every plan is supervised by a physician who reviews your health before prescribing anything and follows you throughout treatment. If a medication does not suit your history, Dr. K will tell you and suggest another route.

What are the requirements to get on weight loss medication?

Eligibility for a GLP-1 medication depends on your BMI, weight-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure, and your medical history. Dr. K reviews all three at your consultation. Some patients are better served by nutrition alone or by a procedure.

How much does medical weight loss cost in Hialeah, FL?

It depends on whether medication is part of your plan, which one, and how often you are seen. Dr. K explains the price at your consultation, and financing options include 24 months at 0% interest.

Can I switch from GLP-1 injections to weight loss surgery?

Yes. Dr. K performs the gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, ESG and gastric balloon, so the switch stays with the same doctor. Weight loss injections must be stopped at least 2 weeks before a procedure, and our team plans that timing with you.

What happens if I stop taking the medication?

Appetite often returns when a GLP-1 is stopped, and some patients regain weight. That is why your plan builds eating habits from the first week and ends with a maintenance phase. If weight comes back, Dr. K can discuss restarting medication or a procedure.

Can medical weight loss help after bariatric surgery?

Yes. Medication and nutrition support can help patients who have regained weight or reached a plateau after surgery. Dr. K reviews your original procedure and current habits first, then recommends medication, a revision or both.
