Individual results vary.
Bariatric surgery makes the stomach smaller, and some procedures also change how food moves through the intestine. You feel full on far less food, and the hunger that undid past diets usually quiets down.
Dr. K completed a fellowship in laparoscopic, bariatric and robotic surgery at Jackson South Medical Center. He performs or oversees all seven options listed here, so the plan he recommends is the one that fits your health.
Most of the stomach is removed laparoscopically through a few small incisions, leaving a narrow sleeve that fills quickly. It is Dr. K's specialty and the procedure our $14,000 package covers. Read about the gastric sleeve.
A sleeve gastrectomy planned for patients whose weight sits below the range many programs accept. See the low BMI gastric sleeve.
Sleeve surgery for adolescents aged 14 to 17 whose weight is already affecting their health. Learn about teen bariatric surgery.
A small stomach pouch is connected directly to the small intestine, limiting both how much you eat and how much you absorb. Read about gastric bypass.
Sutures placed through an endoscope fold the stomach into a narrower shape, with no incisions on the abdomen. See how ESG works.
A soft balloon placed through the mouth takes up room in the stomach for a set period, then is removed. Read about the gastric balloon.
Personalized plans built by our weight loss specialists, including weight loss injections, for patients who are not ready for surgery. See medical weight loss.
Candidacy depends on your health and history, and Dr. K reviews both at your consultation. Surgery may be worth discussing if any of these sound familiar.
Patients call him Dr. K. He leads every consultation, performs the operation himself and stays reachable after you go home, and reviewers often mention that he gives patients his personal cell number.
He earned his medical degree with High Distinction from the University of Kentucky College of Medicine and completed his surgical residency at Jackson Memorial Hospital.
Our office is in South Miami, about 60 miles up US-1 from Key Largo. Much of the preparation can happen before you make the drive.
Your consultation with Dr. K is complimentary. He reviews your health and weight history, explains which procedures fit and gives you clear pricing.
Medical clearances and an upper endoscopy are required. Tests can be done at our clinic or at an outside facility.
You follow a pre-surgery diet with support from our team. Scheduling moves as quickly as your testing is finished.
Dr. K performs your procedure. With the sleeve package, your hospital stay and hospital-related fees are already covered.
Most patients return to work in 4 to 7 days. Lifting over 20 pounds stays off limits while you recover.

Gastric sleeve surgery with Dr. K is $14,000. That one price is a package, so you know what is covered before you drive up.

Surgery takes place with Dr. K in South Miami, about 60 miles up US-1 from Key Largo. Required tests and medical clearances can be completed at our clinic or at an outside facility, so much of the preparation can happen before you make the drive.
There is no single cut-off. Dr. K looks at your overall health, your weight history, what you have already tried and whether you are ready to follow the diet and keep your visits afterward. If surgery is not the right step yet, our medical weight loss program and lower-BMI options give you other paths.
Weight loss injections have to be stopped at least two weeks before surgery. Dr. K plans that transition with you, and some patients use medication and surgery at different stages of the same plan.
An upper endoscopy is required before surgery, and one performed within the last five months is accepted. If Dr. K performs it instead, the endoscopy itself is included in your overall cost and a $750 hospital fee applies.
Surgery dates are often available within the same month. Your date depends on finishing the required tests, and results from our recommended doctor usually come back within 48 hours.
Dr. K stays involved after surgery, and patients often mention that he shares his personal cell number. Follow-up visits for the first year are part of the sleeve package, and our team guides you through each stage of the post-surgery diet.
Book a consultation with Dr. K and leave with a clear recommendation, your pricing and the next steps for testing.
