Candidates

Who Weight Loss Surgery Is Built For

Surgery suits adults, and in our teen program adolescents, whose weight is affecting their health and who have not kept weight off with other methods. You may be a good candidate if several of these describe you:

  • You have lost weight with diets or programs, then regained it.
  • Your weight is linked to conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea or joint pain.
  • You have tried GLP-1 injections and want to discuss a longer-term option.
  • You are ready to follow a pre-surgery diet and keep new eating habits afterward.
  • You can plan a short trip to South Miami for your operation and a few days off work after it.

Patient experiences

A Surgeon Who Picks Up the Phone

4.9from 80 Google reviews

Living hours from your surgeon is easier when you can reach him. That is what patients mention most.

From my 1st visit he made me feel at ease with my decision to pursue bariatric surgery. He has been there the whole process, provided his cell phone to make sure he could be reached at all hours.

Yesi, gastric sleeve patient

Dr. Keshavarzi explained every detail of the surgery from getting prepared, to the actual day of surgery, and beyond. Dr. K was available via phone call or text at any moment.

Hannah S., Google review

I was very concern about the surgery and everything was better than I ever imagined. Doctor Keshavarzy is great, always available (even provides patients with his personal cellphone number) and takes his time to explain everything.

Questions

FAQ About Bariatric Surgery in Poinciana, FL

Do I need a referral for bariatric surgery?

You can reach our team directly to ask for a consultation with Dr. K, and many of our patients first heard about him from a past patient. At the consultation he reviews your health history and tells you which medical clearances he needs before surgery. Required tests can then be completed at a facility closer to Poinciana.

Is weight loss surgery worth it?

For adults who have tried diets and medication without lasting results, surgery changes how much the stomach holds and how quickly you feel full. It is designed for people ready to change how they eat and move for good. Dr. K will tell you plainly whether surgery, a nonsurgical option or a combination suits you better.

How much does bariatric surgery cost in Poinciana, FL?

Our gastric sleeve package is $14,000 and covers the hospital stay, the surgeon's fee, all hospital-related fees and your follow-up visits for the first year. Financing through Cherry offers 24 months at 0% interest, with monthly payments as low as $320. Pricing for other procedures is reviewed at your consultation.

Do I have to travel to South Miami for every step?

No. Required tests can be done at an outside facility, and an upper endoscopy performed within the last five months is accepted, so much of your preparation can happen closer to Poinciana. The operation itself takes place in South Miami, and Dr. K keeps in contact with patients from his own cell phone during recovery.

When can I go back to work after surgery?

Most patients return to work 4 to 7 days after the procedure. You should not lift more than 20 pounds while you heal. Arrange for someone else to drive you home from South Miami.

Can I keep taking weight loss injections before surgery?

Injections must be stopped at least two weeks before your operation. Dr. K will give you the exact date when your surgery is scheduled. Many patients use injections and surgery at different stages of one plan.

Which weight loss procedure is right for me?

Dr. K offers the gastric sleeve, a low BMI sleeve, a teen sleeve, gastric bypass, endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty, the ORBERA gastric balloon and medical weight loss. The right choice depends on your weight, your health conditions and how much change you want. He walks you through each option at your consultation.
