Deerfield Beach patients choose Dr. Reza Keshavarzi, a fellowship-trained bariatric surgeon, for one $14,000 sleeve package that covers the hospital stay, surgeon's fee and a full year of follow-up.
BeforeAfterThese are our own patients, shared with their permission. Every body responds differently, so your result will be your own.
Bariatric surgery makes the stomach smaller or reroutes digestion, so you feel full on small portions and hunger stops running the day. Dr. K performs every procedure below himself, which means your plan starts with your health history, not with the one operation a clinic happens to offer.
About three quarters of the stomach is removed through small incisions, leaving a narrow sleeve. It is the procedure Dr. K specializes in.
Gastric sleeve detailsA sleeve for adults with a BMI of 25 to 30 who have been told they are too light for surgery elsewhere.
Mini Sleeve detailsA small stomach pouch is joined directly to the small intestine, limiting both how much you eat and how much you absorb.
Gastric bypass detailsA sleeve program for adolescents aged 14 to 17, planned with the whole family and followed closely after surgery.
Teen program detailsEndoscopic sleeve gastroplasty and the ORBERA gastric balloon shrink stomach capacity from the inside, with no incisions.
ESG detailsA personalized plan that can include GLP-1 injections, overseen by Dr. K, for patients who are not ready for an operation.
Medical weight loss detailsSurgery is for people whose weight has not stayed off with diet, exercise or medication alone. Dr. K decides candidacy after reviewing your health history, your past attempts and your goals with you.
Being a good candidate also means being ready for the work around the operation: a pre-surgery diet, new eating habits and a year of follow-up visits.
Patients call him Dr. K. He leads every consultation and performs every operation himself, then stays reachable on his personal cell phone through recovery, which matters when you live an hour north of the office.
Many Deerfield Beach patients come to us already taking Ozempic, Wegovy or Mounjaro. Neither path is right for everyone, and Dr. K often combines them, so here is how they differ.
| GLP-1 injections | Bariatric surgery | |
|---|---|---|
| How it works | A weekly medication lowers appetite and helps blood sugar | The stomach is made smaller, so you feel full on far less food |
| How long it lasts | Works while you keep taking it | A one-time operation, with no weekly dose to keep up |
| Procedure | None, managed through medical weight loss | Laparoscopic surgery, with most patients back at work in 4 to 7 days |
| Often suits | Patients who need moderate weight loss or are not ready for surgery | Patients with more weight to lose or weight-related conditions |
| Switching | Can bridge you to surgery or support you after it | Injections are stopped at least two weeks before the operation |
Much of the preparation can happen near home in Deerfield Beach, so most trips south are for the visits that need Dr. K in person.
You talk through your health, your history with weight and your goals with the surgeon himself, and leave knowing which procedure fits and what it costs.
Required tests can be done at our clinic or at a facility closer to home. Our recommended doctor returns results within 48 hours.
An EGD is required. One from the last five months is accepted, or Dr. K can perform it for you.
A pre-surgery diet prepares your body for the operation. GLP-1 injections stop at least two weeks before your date.
Dates are often open within the current month, and timing depends on how quickly your tests are complete.
Most patients are back at work in 4 to 7 days. Avoid lifting more than 20 pounds until Dr. K clears you.
Follow-up visits for the first year are part of your package, with staged diet plans to guide how you eat as you heal.

No. Dr. K operates and sees patients from our office at 7330 SW 62nd Pl, Suite 210, in South Miami, reached from Deerfield Beach by I-95 or Florida's Turnpike. Your required tests and endoscopy can be done at a facility near home, which cuts down on trips south.
They do different jobs. GLP-1 injections such as Ozempic lower appetite while you take them, and they suit many patients who do not need surgery. A sleeve removes about three quarters of the stomach in one operation, and Dr. K often combines the two, so he will tell you which path fits your weight and health.
Our gastric sleeve package is $14,000 and covers the hospital stay, surgeon's fee, all hospital-related fees and your first year of follow-up visits. Cherry financing offers 24 months at 0% interest, with monthly payments as low as $320.
Yes. An EGD is required, and one done within the last five months is accepted. If Dr. K performs it, the procedure is included in your surgery cost and only the $750 hospital fee applies.
Most patients return to work 4 to 7 days after the procedure. You should not lift more than 20 pounds while you heal, and Dr. K will tell you when heavier activity is safe.
Yes. GLP-1 injections must be stopped at least two weeks before your operation. Tell us at your consultation so we can plan your surgery date around it.
Surgery dates are often available within the current month. How fast you are scheduled depends on how quickly you finish your required tests, and our recommended doctor returns results within 48 hours.
Our only office is in South Miami, about an hour south of Deerfield Beach by I-95 or Florida's Turnpike depending on traffic. Tests can be done near home, and Dr. K stays reachable by phone, so the distance stays manageable.
